>>> > > > THE NATION IS GETTING INTO A NEW STAGE IN THE BATTLE VERSUS COVID-19. THAT'' S HOW PRESIDENT BIDEN IS PAINT THE ROLLOUT OF THE UPDATED BOOSTER SHOTS TARGETING OMICRON SUBVARIANTS CALLING IT A NEW VACCINE WITH A BRAND-NEW STRATEGY. THAT SUGGESTS ONE COVID-19 SHOT YEARLY EACH AUTUMN. IF IT SEEMS FAMILIAR, IT'' S SINCE IT IS. THE WHITE RESIDENCE HAS COME TO BE COMBINING IT TO THE ANNUAL FLU SHOT. GREATER THAN 200 MILLION INDIVIDUALS ARE ELIGIBLE TO OBTAIN A BOOSTER FROM PFIZER AS WELL AS MODERNA BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN OVER HOW MANY ACTUALLY WILL OBTAIN IT.SO HOW ARE THE CDC AND ALSO WHITE RESIDENCE GOING TO SHOCK THEIR METHOD FOR THIS LATEST DOSE? EARLIER I SPOKE TO CDC DIRECTORDR. WALENSKY. WHAT MAKES THIS BOOSTER ROUND DISTINCTION? DOES IT SUPPLY DRAMATICALLY MORE SECURITY? >> > > YEAH, THIS IS A REALLY CRUCIAL INQUIRY. FOR THE FIRST TIME NOW, WE HAVE A SHOT THAT IN FACT TARGETS EXACTLY THE VARIATIONS THAT WE HAVE CIRCULATING TODAY. SO ABOUT 88% OF OUR VARIANTS ARE BACHELOR’S DEGREE.5, REGARDING 11% BACHELOR’S DEGREE.4 AND ALSO TODAY THIS UPDATED SHOT IS HALF THE ORIGINAL PRESSURE AND FIFTY PERCENT THAT BA.4, BA.5 STRAIN.WHAT ' S TARGETED TO THAT BA.4, BACHELOR’S DEGREE.5 STRAIN. THIS UPGRADED VACCINATION WILL CERTAINLY EXECUTE BETTER AGAINST THE DISTRIBUTING STRAINS WE HAVE NOW IT WILL CARRY OUT BETTER AGAINST OTHER FLOWING VARIATIONS THAT MAY COME, WHICH IT WON ' T SACRIFICE ANYTHING IN REQUISITES OF SECURITY OF THE ORIGINAL STRAIN. WE ' RE IN A FAR BETTER LOCATION WITH THIS UPGRADED BOOSTER CURRENTLY. > > AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE PROFESSIONAL AT THE CHILDREN ' >> S HOSPITAL OF PHILLY ALSO A MEMBER OF THE FDA ADVISORY COMMITTEE HAS BEEN CRITICAL OF THIS UPDATED BOOSTER. HE SAYS THAT A HEALTHY AND BALANCED YOUNG INDIVIDUAL ACTUALLY IS UNLIKELY TO EVEN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A BOOSTER DOSE. IT OUGHT TO BE TARGETED EVEN MORE ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO TRULY ARE MORE THAN LIKELY TO BENEFIT, AND I QUESTION IF YOU CONCUR WITH THAT ANALYSIS AND WHETHER SIMPLY EVEN CLAIMING THAT CONTRIBUTES TO WHAT HAS BEEN, AS YOU UNDERSTAND, AN ONGOING OBJECTION OF CDC MESSAGING THAT COVID INJECTIONS, COVID ITSELF, THE MESSAGING IS CONFUSING. > > SO FIRST, DEEP RESPECT TO THE DOCTOR.
>> BELOW IS WHAT I ' LL SAY ABOUT THE UPDATED VACCINE. WE ' RE SIMPLIFYING OUR MESSAGE. OUR MESSAGE IS YOU NEED TO OBTAIN YOUR LOSS BOOSTER VACCINATION. SO GO ON AND ALSO GET IT. IF YOU ' RE OVER THE AGE OF 12, IF YOU ' VE RECEIVED YOUR PRIMARY SERIES, IF YOU'' RE MORE THAN TWO MONTHS OUT OF THE SWAN SONG, YOU CAN GET AN UPGRADED VACCINATION. WE ' VE INTENTIONALLY STREAMLINED THE MESSAGE SO IT ' S EXTREMELY, VERY CLEAR. IT ' S CLEAR THOSE'OVER THE AGE OF 50, OVER THE AGE OF 60 OR 70 ARE MORE IN JEOPARDY OF EXTREME DISEASE, HOSPITALIZATION AND ALSO FATALITY AND THOSE OF HIGH DANGER OF EXTREME ILLNESS OBTAIN THAT UPDATED VACCINE. > > IT ' S BEING TOP QUALITY AS AN ANNUAL BOOSTER DOSE BUT IS THERE PROOF MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL THE SHOT WILL OFFER SECURITY THAT LAST AS FULL YEAR WITH MNRA VACCINATIONS WHERE WE SEE A LOSS OF SECURITY AFTER 3 OR 4 MONTHS. > > WHAT WE HAVE SEEN THESE BOOSTERS TEND TO HAVE SECURITY FOR UP TO 3, FOUR, >> FIVE, 6 MONTHS AND EVEN MUCH LONGER AGAINST EXTREME CONDITION, A HOSPITAL STAY AND DEATH. SO AS WE ' RE ROLLING OUT THESE NEW UPDATED INJECTION, WE WILL CERTAINLY CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE DATA ON INJECTION EFFICIENCY AGAINST INFECTIONS, AGAINST SERIOUS ILLNESS, A HOSPITAL STAY AND ALSO FATALITY. WHAT I WILL CERTAINLY STATE IS THAT WE DO KNOW THAT THE LOSS PERIOD, THE WINTER OFTEN TENDS TO BE ONE IN WHICH RESPIRATORY VIRUSES THRIVE, WHICH IS WHY NOW IS THE TIME THAT WE ' RE ROLLING OUT THESE VACCINES AND ALSO WE ' RE REALLY ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO OBTAIN THEM. > > ARE YOU SAYING PEOPLE'THAT HAVE OBTAINED LAX OR SIMPLY CHOSE THEY'NO MORE REQUIREMENT CONCEALS POSSIBLY WANT TO RECONSIDER >> FOR THE WINTERTIME MONTHS? > > WELL, CERTAINLY SINCE FEBRUARY WE ' VE BEEN MODERNIZING OUR COVID-19 NEIGHBORHOOD LEVELS. THOSE LEVELS LOOK NOT JUST AT JUST HOW MUCH >> INFECTION IS AROUND BUT JUST HOW MUCH EXTREME CONDITION, HOSPITALIZATION OR HEALTHCARE FACILITY CAPABILITY. WE STILL HAVE 19 %OF THE POPULACE THAT ARE STAYING IN COUNTIES WITH HIGH COVID-19 AREA LEVELS, COUNTIES IN ORANGE AS WELL AS WE DO ENCOURAGE POLICIES FOR MASKING IN THOSE REGIONS AND ALSO IF THOSE PLANS DON ' T EXIST, WE ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS TO GO ON AND ALSO PUT THEIR MASK ON. > > I WEAR ' T NEED TO TELL YOU IT SOMETHING TO GET THE NEW MOS BOOSTERS AVAILABLE BUT IT ' S ANOTHER TO OBTAIN PEOPLE TO PUT THEM IN THEIR ARMS AND ALSO
>> THE NEWEST NUMBERS I SAW A 67.5% OF THE POPULATION HAVE TWO SHOTS AND ALSO EVEN LESS, LESS THAN 50% HAVE ONE BOOSTER. WHY DO YOU THINK THE ACTION HAS NOT BEEN BETTER AND ALSO DOES YOUR COMPANY REQUIRED A NEW GAME STRATEGY TO OBTAIN EVEN MORE PEOPLE TO OBTAIN SHOTS IN THE ARMS? > > YEAH, SO WE ' RE DOING A LOT OF THAT HARD WORK RIGHT NOW.THAT WORK IS ALLOWING TRUSTED CARRIERS TO CONTINUE TO SEND OUT OUR MESSAGE. BELOW IS WHAT WE DO KNOW. THE DATA HAVE SHOWN OVER AND OVER AGAIN DATA DEMONSTRATE FD YOU RECEIVED YOUR INJECTIONS, YOU ' RE 14 TIMES LESS LIKELY TO PASS AWAY OF COVID. IF YOU GET THAT SECONDLY SHOT, YOU ' RE FOUR TIMES LESS LIKELY TO DIE OF COVID-19 CONTRASTED TO ONE THAT JUST GOT A SINGLE BOOSTER.

WE ' LL HAVE 10 MILLION VACCINES IN OVER 15,000 DRUG STORES IN IN NATION BY THE END OF THE WEEK. 90% OF THE POPULACE WILL LIVE WITHIN 5 MILES OF ACCESS TO An INJECTION. WE ' RE CONTINUING THAT MESSAGE AS WELL AS AS YOU SAY, THIS IS GOING TO BE NOT SIMPLY US AT CDC, NOT JUST OUR PUBLIC WELLNESS ALLIES, PHYSICIANS, AREA BASED COMPANIES SENDING OUT THE MESSAGE. > > IN ADDITION TO COVID I WISH TO'ASK ABOUT THE INFLUENZA.
