NEW YORK – Dr. Anthony Fauci predicts that by April it will be an “open season” for vaccinations in the US, as most people have the chance to protect shots against COVID-19.
Fauci, who serves as scientific adviser to President Joe Biden, says the rate of vaccinations will accelerate significantly in the coming months. He acknowledges the forthcoming deliveries of the two approved vaccines, the possible approval of a third and the steps the Biden government has taken to increase the country’s ability to deliver doses.
He says, “by the time we are in April,” it will be ‘open season, namely anyone and everyone in any category can start vaccinating.’
He warned that it would take a few more months to give injections to adult Americans, but the prediction of herds could be reached by late summer.
