Am I right in thinking, that if the most vulnerable in your society are protected (i.e. have the antibodies against a disease), a small level of community transmission among the rest of the population keeps the antibody levels of those already protected quite high? Almost like a booster when they come across the virus again
I think I got this from chicken pox - I believe kids having chicken pox is quite good for adults around them, as the exposure to the virus keeps their own antibody levels topped up?
Someone more qualified should comment to shut me down if I'm talking crap
