Tuesday Dr. Anthony Fauci spoke frankly about the timeline for controlling the virus, saying if the “overwhelming majority” of the population gets vaccinated the US could have the pandemic “under control” by spring of 2022.
“We hope we’ll be there … but there’s no guarantee because it’s up to us,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the President’s chief medical adviser, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 51% of the population is fully vaccinated.
Experts are hoping that now that the US Food and Drug Administration granted full approval to the Pfizer vaccine, more people will line up for shots.
What we are seeing is more institutions mandating that their staff /workers be vaccinated.
