Kuwait eyes herd immunity against COVID-19 by September

Kuwait is likely to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 by next September when the total number of those receiving the jabs will hit 3 million people, according to well-informed sources.

“Reaching this rate will put the country at the threshold of obtaining community immunity, thus paving the way for return to normal life with 65 to 70 per cent vaccinated before the new school year starts in September,” a source said, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai.

Kuwait expects the number of those vaccinated to reach 2 million in the next few weeks.
