Dallas County has now reached "herd immunity" in the view of the Parkland Center For Clinical Innovation.
The center's CEO Steve Miff says "on July 4, Dallas County reached the 80 percent herd immunity threshold. This threshold is made up by 46.6 percent of the total population being vaccinated and 48.7 percent of the population with natural immunity having recovered from being infected by COVID-19."
However, Miff says only 49 Dallas County ZIP codes are above the 80% threshold with 45 ZIP codes below. He says there are still significant pockets in the community that remain vulnerable.
