On Sunday, the top United States infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said he believes millions of American nationals who already received full vaccination against the COVID-19 will ultimately need a booster dose to remain sufficiently vaccinated. U.S. President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, told NBC’s show that eventually, the real proper régime would turn out to be the original two doses, including a boost, a 3rd shot of the Moderna or Pfizer BioNTech vaccines or a second dose from the earlier single Johnson & Johnson vaccination.
On Friday, a panel of United States health experts rejected giving a 3rd Pfizer shot to all U.S. nationals but suggested them for people sixty-five and older and those with serious health issues. Furthermore, the panel postponed its decision on boosters for those who administered Johnson & Johnson and Moderna shots. Fauci said a booster dose decision for Johnson & Johnson and Moderna recipients is factually a couple to some weeks away. Further, he adds that they are developing that right now to get the statistics to the Food and Drug Administration, so they can inspect it and make a determination about the booster shops for those people.
70 million People 12 and Elder Americans Remain Unvaccinated
Ultimately, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that one hundred and eighty-one million Americans receive full vaccination, but another projected seventy million people twelve and older remain unvaccinated, either because they opposed to inoculations or skeptical of them, think they won’t catch the coronavirus, cautious of government officials urging them to receive the vaccination or some other reason.
According to the agency, since mid-August, over two million people have already received a booster dose, mainly because the administration said people with severe health issues should do so, but also speciously because thousands of Americans who are not ill felt the requirement to get a booster. However, he said that he believes that there is a better chance that as Americans get into the coming months into 2022, the statistics point to the benefit of having a much broader blanket of people getting a booster dose.

Joe Biden Ordered Businesses with Hundred or More Employees
Fauci told the State of the Union of CNN that until that happens to show that he strongly recommends that those who received the vaccination, unless they fall into a previously approved category for a booster dose, wait their turn instead of showing up at a clinic and asking for a dose. Recently, Biden ordered businesses with hundred or more workers to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for their employees or require weekly testing, and mandatory doses for 2.5 million employees for the national government, without the choice of weekly tests for coronavirus.
Fauci told NBC News that the possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for air travelers is still on the table right now. However, the vaccination mandate of the president for a projected eighty million employees remains controversial, with several state governors of the Republican party saying they view it as an overreach by the president.
