>>> > > > THE COUNTRY IS ENTERING A NEW PHASE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19. THAT'' S HOW HEAD OF STATE BIDEN IS PAINTING THE ROLLOUT OF THE UPDATED BOOSTER PICTURE TARGETING OMICRON SUBVARIANTS CALLING IT A BRAND-NEW INJECTION WITH A BRAND-NEW STRATEGY. THAT INDICATES ONE COVID-19 SHOT WHEN A YEAR EACH FALL. IF IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR, IT'' S BECAUSE IT IS. THE WHITE RESIDENCE HAS BECOME PAIRING IT TO THE YEARLY FLU SHOT. GREATER THAN 200 MILLION PEOPLE ARE QUALIFIED TO GET A BOOSTER FROM PFIZER AND ALSO MODERNA BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN OVER HOW MANY ACTUALLY WILL CERTAINLY OBTAIN IT. SO HOW ARE THE CDC AS WELL AS WHITE RESIDENCE GOING TO SHAKE UP THEIR TECHNIQUE FOR THIS LATEST DOSE? EARLIER I TALKED TO CDC DIRECTORDR. WALENSKY. WHAT MAKES THIS BOOSTER DOSE ROUND DIFFERENCE? DOES IT SUPPLY DRAMATICALLY MORE DEFENSE? >> > > YEAH, THIS IS A REALLY CRUCIAL QUESTION.FOR THE FIRST TIME NOW, WE TAKE A CRACK AT THAT REALLY TARGETS EXACTLY THE VERSIONS THAT WE HAVE CIRCULATING RIGHT NOW. SO ABOUT 88 %OF OUR VARIANTS ARE BACHELOR’S DEGREE.5, CONCERNING 11% BA.4 AND ALSO RIGHT NOW THIS UPDATED SHOT IS FIFTY PERCENT THE ORIGINAL PRESSURE AND ALSO HALF THAT BA.4, BACHELOR’S DEGREE.5 STRAIN. WHAT ' S TARGETED TO THAT BA.4, BA.5 PRESSURE. THIS'UPGRADED VACCINE WILL CERTAINLY EXECUTE BETTER AGAINST THE DISTRIBUTING STRAINS WE HAVE NOW IT WILL CERTAINLY CARRY OUT BETTER AGAINST OTHER CIRCULATING VARIATIONS THAT MAY COME, WHICH IT WON ' T SACRIFICE ANYTHING IN STIPULATIONS OF PROTECTION OF THE ORIGINAL STRESS. WE ' RE IN A BETTER LOCATION WITH THIS UPDATED BOOSTER NOW. > >'AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE PROFESSIONAL AT THE CHILDREN ' >> S HEALTH CENTER OF PHILLY ALSO A PARTICIPANT OF THE FDA ADVISORY BOARD HAS BEEN CRITICAL OF THIS UPGRADED BOOSTER.HE SAYS THAT A HEALTHY AND BALANCED YOUNG PERSON TRULY IS
UNLIKELY TO EVEN BENEFIT FROM A BOOSTER DOSAGE. IT MUST BE TARGETED MORE SPECIFICALLY TO THOSE THAT TRULY ARE A LOT OF LIKELY TO BENEFIT, AND ALSO I QUESTION IF YOU AGREE WITH THAT EVALUATION AND WHETHER SIMPLY EVEN SAYING THAT INCLUDES IN WHAT HAS BEEN, AS YOU RECOGNIZE, AN ONGOING CRITICISM OF CDC MESSAGING THAT COVID VACCINATIONS, COVID ITSELF, THE MESSAGING IS CONFUSING. > > SO FIRST, DEEP RESPECT TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. >> RIGHT HERE IS WHAT I ' LL SAY CONCERNING THE UPDATED VACCINE. WE ' RE SIMPLIFYING OUR MESSAGE.OUR MESSAGE IS YOU REQUIRED TO'GET YOUR AUTUMN BOOSTER VACCINATION.
SO GO ON AND GET IT. IF YOU ' RE OVER THE AGE OF 12, IF YOU ' VE RECEIVED YOUR PRIMARY SERIES, IF YOU'' RE EVEN MORE THAN 2 MONTHS OUT OF THE LAST SHOT, YOU TIN OBTAIN AN UPDATED VACCINE. WE ' VE PURPOSEFULLY SIMPLIFIED THE MESSAGE SO IT ' S REALLY, EXTREMELY CLEAR. IT ' S CLEAR THOSE'OVER THE AGE OF 50, OVER THE AGE OF 60 OR 70 ARE MORE IN DANGER OF EXTREME ILLNESS, A HOSPITAL STAY AND DEATH AS WELL AS THOSE OF HIGH RISK OF SEVERE DISEASE OBTAIN THAT UPDATED VACCINATION. > > IT ' S BEING BRANDED AS AN ANNUAL BOOSTER INJECTION BUT EXISTS EVIDENCE DOCTOR THE SHOT WILL CERTAINLY GIVE PROTECTION THAT LAST AS FULL YEAR WITH MNRA VACCINATIONS WHERE WE SEE A LOSS OF DEFENSE AFTER THREE OR 4 MONTHS. > > WHAT WE HAVE SEEN THESE BOOSTERS TEND TO HAVE SECURITY FOR AS MUCH AS 3, FOUR, 5, SIX MONTHS AS WELL AS EVEN LONGER VERSUS EXTREME CONDITION, A HOSPITAL STAY AND ALSO FATALITY. SO AS WE ' RE ROLLING OUT THESE NEW UPDATED INJECTION, WE WILL REMAIN TO FOLLOW THE INFORMATION ON VACCINE EFFICIENCY AGAINST INFECTIONS, VERSUS EXTREME ILLNESS, A HOSPITAL STAY AS WELL AS DEATH.WHAT I WILL CERTAINLY STATE IS THAT WE DO KNOW THAT THE FALL SEASON, THE WINTER HAS A TENDENCY TO BE ONE IN WHICH RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS
GROW, WHICH IS WHY TODAY IS THE MOMENT THAT WE ' RE ROLLING OUT THESE VACCINES AND WE ' RE REALLY ENCOURAGING INDIVIDUALS TO OBTAIN THEM. > > ARE YOU STATING PEOPLE THAT HAVE GOTTEN LAX OR SIMPLY MADE A DECISION THEY NO MORE DEMAND MASKS PERHAPS WANT TO RECONSIDER FOR THE WINTER SEASON MONTHS? > > WELL, CERTAINLY SINCE FEBRUARY WE ' VE BEEN UPDATING OUR COVID-19 AREA LEVELS. THOSE LEVELS LOOK NOT SIMPLY AT JUST HOW MUCH INFECTION IS OUT THERE BUT HOW> MUCH SERIOUS DISEASE, A HOSPITAL STAY'OR HOSPITAL CAPACITY. WE STILL HAVE 19%OF THE POPULATION THAT ARE LIVING IN COUNTIES WITH HIGH COVID-19 NEIGHBORHOOD DEGREES, COUNTIES IN ORANGE AND WE DO ENCOURAGE POLICIES FOR MASKING IN THOSE REGIONS AND ALSO IF THOSE POLICIES DON ' T EXIST, WE ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS TO GO ON AND ALSO PUT THEIR MASK ON. > > I WEAR ' T NEED TO INFORM YOU IT ONE POINT TO OBTAIN THE NEW MOS BOOSTERS AVAILABLE BUT IT ' S ANOTHER TO OBTAIN PEOPLE TO PUT THEM IN THEIR ARMS AND ALSO THE MOST UP TO DATE NUMBERS I SAW'A 67.5 %OF THE POPULACE HAVE TWO SHOTS AND EVEN LESS, LESS THAN 50 %HAVE ONE BOOSTER.WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THE FEEDBACK HAS NOT BEEN BETTER AS WELL AS DOES YOUR FIRM REQUIRED A BRAND-NEW STRATEGY TO OBTAIN MORE INDIVIDUALS TO GET PICTURE IN THE ARMS? > > YEAH, SO WE ' RE DOING A GREAT DEAL OF THAT EFFORT NOW.

IF YOU RECEIVE THAT SECOND SHOT, YOU ' RE FOUR TIMES LESS LIKELY TO DIE OF COVID-19 COMPARED TO ONE THAT SIMPLY GOT A SINGLE BOOSTER. SO OUR INFORMATION HAVE BEEN REALLY CRYSTAL CLEAR ABOUT THE VALUE'OF ACQUIRING VACCINATIONS AND ALSO WE WILL CERTAINLY PROCEED TO SEND OUT THAT MESSAGE. WE ' LL REMAIN TO PUT VACCINE IN PLACES THAT PEOPLE CAN ACCESS IT TODAY VACCINES ARE ROLLING OUT THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY.WE ' LL HAVE 10 MILLION VACCINES IN OVER 15,000 DRUG STORES IN IN COUNTRY BY THE END OF THE WEEK. 90 %OF THE POPULATION WILL CERTAINLY LIVE WITHIN 5 MILES OF GAIN ACCESS TO TO An INJECTION. WE ' RE CONTINUING THAT MESSAGE AS WELL AS AS YOU CLAIM, THIS IS GOING TO BE NOT SIMPLY United States AT CDC,
NOT SIMPLY OUR PUBLIC WELLNESS PARTNERS, PHYSICIANS, NEIGHBORHOOD BASED ORGANIZATIONS SENDING THE MESSAGE. > > IN ADDITION TO COVID I WISH TO'INQUIRE ABOUT THE INFLUENZA.
