Fauci, NBC’s “Today”, the country’s leading doctor and scientific adviser President BidenJoe Biden Former Republican officials in talks to form center-right anti-Trump party: reports Biden raises concerns with Xi in first call with Chinese leader as president Castro: Trump has further incited the crowd ‘against his own vice- president ‘MORE, predicted that vaccinations would increase in the spring as more doses became available and more places began to administer shots.

He said the pace would increase due to the administration’s programs to enable pharmacies and health centers to administer shots.

“I would imagine that, by April, this will be what I call an open season. Virtually anyone and everyone in any category can start vaccinating,” Fauci said.

However, he added that it would take a few more months to get the vaccine into people’s arms, but that the vast majority of people in this country would hopefully be vaccinated by the end of the summer.

Although the rate picked up about 1.5 million people a day, the explosion of the country’s vaccine was uneven, plagued by supply shortages and different approaches in each state.

There are only two companies with authorized vaccines in the US, but Johnson & Johnson will have a federal review by the end of this month, which could potentially increase the available supply as soon as March.

New cases, hospitalizations and even deaths, which were at an all-time high after the holiday season, have been declining steadily over the past few weeks, but about 3,000 people still die a day.

Experts have compared the current situation to the calm before the next storm, when more infectious variants become the dominant tribe in the country. While Fauci said he takes the threats of new variants seriously, however, he was not too worried.

“The sobering news is that it’s spreading faster. We know this from the British experience. The uplifting news is that it looks like the vaccines we have now, the Moderna and Pfizer and probably those coming online soon, are doing well against this British. variant, ‘Fauci said.

Fauci added that people should continue with preventative behaviors such as physical distance and mask wearing, but if they do it all the time, nothing should change.

Fauci also explained that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday did not recommend that people wear two masks. The agency has updated the mask fitting guidelines to emphasize that the tighter the fit, the better the protection will be.

“What the CDC is saying is at least: wearing a mask. OK? That’s what they say. Make sure you wear a mask,” Fauci said.

“Then you want it to fit better, so if you want, you can do one of the ways to put on a cloth mask … That’s all they say,” Fauci added..
