As the FDA continues to gather new information on boosters, convincing unvaccinated Americans to get vaccinated remains the priority.<\/p>\n<p>The comments from Fauci come after the FDA advisory committee on Friday voted against giving third shots of Pfizer&#x27;s Covid-19 vaccine to all Americans, although they recommended booster doses for people 65 and older and those with underlying conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA panel&#x27;s decision added to the confusion about booster shots, after President Joe Biden last month said boosters would become available to all Americans beginning the week of September 20.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I understand why there might be confusion because I think people were not understanding the difference of planning for something and actually what element of that, what proportion of it you&#x27;re actually going to roll out, and that&#x27;s exactly what happened,&quot; he told NBC&#x27;s &quot;Meet the Press.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He later told ABC&#x27;s &quot;This Week&quot; that the administration set the September 20 deadline as a placeholder, contingent on input from the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The plan was that we have to be ready to do this as soon as a decision is made,&quot; he said. &quot;And when you have a plan, you put a date on it, and you say, &#x27;We want to be able to get ready to roll out on the week of September the 20th.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Recent data from Israel suggests that while the vaccine&#x27;s effectiveness diminishes over time, a third shot of\u00a0Pfizer six months after a second dose could restore protection from infection to 95%.<\/p>\n<p>As of September 18, more than 181 million Americans have been fully vaccinated. More than 670,000 people have died from Covid-19 nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Data on boosters from Moderna and Johnson &amp; Johnson is expected in the coming weeks, Fauci said. He also told &quot;This Week&quot; there will &quot;certainly&quot; be a vaccine for children this fall.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/09\/19\/fauci-defends-fda-panel-decision-to-reject-third-doses-for-all-americans.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Anthony Fauci defended the Food and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":139635,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
