Understanding seroprevalence is crucial for several reasons:
Public Health Planning: It helps in designing and implementing vaccination programs and other public health interventions. Epidemiological Surveillance: Monitoring seroprevalence over time can indicate the progression of an epidemic or pandemic. Herd Immunity: Estimating the level of herd immunity in a population can help predict the potential for future outbreaks. Risk Assessment: Identifying high-risk groups and regions can guide targeted interventions.
