 - **Herd immunity**: A form of indirect protection from infectious disease that occurs when a sufficient proportion of a population has become immune to an infection, thereby reducing the likelihood of infection for individuals who lack immunity.
 - **Vaccination strategies**: Different approaches to administering vaccines, which may include targeting specific age groups or risk populations.
