What did Fauci say about the next booster dose for “Corona”?

Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said, “By this summer, scientists and health officials are expected to have a better idea of ​​the type of booster dose needed to confront the next stage of the Covid-19 epidemic, caused by the outbreak of the Corona virus, and when to give this dose.” “.

Fauci added, “The National Institutes of Health in America is conducting clinical studies to determine whether the next booster dose for “Corona” should be specific to a specific strain of the Corona virus or target it to treat more than one strain before the fall season.”

“It is possible that we will know during the summer when we will be able and what we will be able to do to strengthen people with it,” the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said, during an online event hosted by the National Press Club in Washington.

Fauci added, “It will be very difficult for state residents to reach classic herd immunity against the Corona virus due to several factors, including the ability of the virus to evolve and transform into diverse strains, which reduces immunity from infection and vaccines, and the anti-vaccine movement that has prevented millions of people from seeking vaccination.” “.

He said, “It is unlikely that the United States will eliminate the Corona epidemic, but it must strive to control the virus and get out of the acute epidemic stage.”

He continued, “When I said that we are no longer in that acute stage, this does not mean that the pandemic is over. It is not over in any way. We are still facing a global pandemic.”
