The rate of COVID-19 vaccines rolling out in Americans’ arms is not only important in saving lives and returning to normal. It may also play a role in whether these vaccines become an annual thing, such as the flu shot.
‘But I think it’s conceivable that some version of it will take place. We do not know about it. “What we hope to do is to make the level of infection so low that the circulation of virus will not have the opportunity to change substantially during the season or season or year to year,” says Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy. and infectious diseases.
In an interview with the head of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Fauci said while it is still too early to say whether COVID-19 could be a seasonal problem, there are ways to prevent it.
Vaccinations, not only in the United States but also around the world can make all the difference.
‘The one wild card in it that can be disruptive to the plan is that we have to look at it globally, because if sooner or later you have a lot of repetition going on in other countries of the world, even though you care in your own country with vaccinations, mutants can tend to spread in your society and reduce the protection of the vaccines you use, ”Fauci said.
Finally, Fauci says you need to smash the virus worldwide to increase the chances of it changing season by season.
That is why he says he is pleased that the US has rejoined the World Health Organization and is helping COVAX to bring the vaccine to countries with understaffing.
At present, Israel, the United Kingdom and the USA are leading in population – based vaccinations and are quite a few other countries in the first world.
Service countries are not even signing up for vaccinations on a world-class tracker by Oxford.
