Medication that suppresses the Immune System and of Course Organ Transplant recipients. A recent study found vaccinated immune know know Xroez Xro the Surgeon General says immunocompromised americans probably wont be the only group to receive a third shot. It is likely that boosters will be needed for a broader segment of the population. What were trying to figure out right now is the right timing for when to initiate those additional doses and also who those doses should be available to. Based on where the need is greatest. The cdc now says pregnant women should get vaccinated against covid19. That represents a bit of a change from the previous advice that simply said women could get the vaccine. Meanwhile, there is a chilling prediction from the world health organization, the director says at the current rate we could pass 300 Million covid cases worldwide by early next year. That is 100 Million more than the 200 Million reported as of last week. So lets bring in an Associate Professor at the Yale School Of Medicine and Principal Investigator of the pfizer vaccine trial. Good morning. Good morning. Doctor, do you think that the fda is doing the right thing approving the additional shot and first for immunocompromised people . How significant is this . That is an important development. I think that the need for boosters have really been informed by what has been observed to be waning immunity over time both within the clinical trials and Real World reports around covid19 incidents among vaccinated individuals. And we know that the united states is going through a surge of infections currently with delta. This is no surprise to me because weve always known that this group that you listed, Cancer Patient or people who use certain medications that affect the Immune System could be first of all, do not even respond as well to the two Dose Vaccines as people without some of those conditions. So it does make sense for these vulnerable individuals to have they will an Extra Kick and there are studies showing that the extra dose might be helpful. Right now so many of those people are actually living their life as if they are not vaccinated because they are so afraid. Right. It is a lot of fear, a lot of anxiety. So moving forward, do you think that there will be other groups who will eventually be recommended to get a Booster Shot . Yeah, so one group that i think should be given strong concentration would be the elderly, and that is older than the age of 65, because across the board, and this is not just for covid vaccinations, but older individuals tend to show lower responses to vaccines to begin with and those were also seen with the covid19 trials and were seeing that with the breakthrough infections, that vast majority of those individuals are elderly individuals. So that is another group i think that would warrant it as well. What do you make of the cdc now strengthening its advice that pregnant women should be vaccinated . Up until now, they said that the vaccine could be used for pregnant women, they can use the vaccine, now they are strengthening that advice and recommending it. Is that significant . Absolutely. So this is good news both for pregnant women and also women of Child Bearing potentials who had expressed concern around the Covid19 Vaccine because of concern around fertility and also pregnancy outcomes. And so there is emerging data still being collected on pregnant women and the cdc looked at about 2500 women and did not find anymore adverse pregnancy outcomes than occurs in the general population. So that is good news assuming other Pregnancy Registries that are showing similar thing, we also had women who got pregnant during the clinical trials that we conducted who have also not seen any negative signal. So this is a positive development and i hope that this strengthens the resolve of pregnant women to get vaccinated. I know one study showed that they can pass along the antibodies to their babies, so valuable data too. And weve seen so many cases where a woman was pregnant and then got a very severe case of covid and was maybe unable to meet her child for several weeks or months or in some cases passed away. So this is a critically important step. I think that it will relieve a lot of anxiety. Doctor, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Nice to see you.

So yes he would favor the vaccine to be a required the debate over masks also heating up as students return to school. In florida and texas, numerous School Boards are defying their states governors by requiring masks be worn by children in school. Jacqueline howard has more. Reporter i spoke with the national Education Association which has been Tracking School Openings and the group says that in places where schools are working closely with Public Health officials and following guidance like wearing masks and distancing, classes are ongoing with no hiccups. But in places where schools are banned from requiring masks or making other mitigation policies, that is where were seeing an increase in covid19 cases in schools and some classrooms having to return to virtual learning because of cases. Here is how dr. Rochelle walensky explains it. Places that are having the problem, the places that are having disease that is transmitted in the schools, are the places that arent taking the prevention strategies, the places that arent masking. The places that are you seeing kids in the hospital are all places that are not taking Mitigation Strategies to keep our children safe. And so far texas and florida are two states where were seeing Mask Mandates in schools becoming politicized. In Texas Governor Greg abbott prohibits Mask Mandates but two judges there have issued Restraining Orders temporarily blocking the enforcement of Abbotts Order and in florida Governor Desantis says parents should be able to decide if children wear masks or not, essentially blocking Mask Mandates. He has even threatened to withhold the salaries of superintendents and School Board members who impose Mask Man mandates. So the battle over masks is very telling and all of this is while more schools nationwide gear up to reopen. Christine and whitney, back to you.

Monday august 2, i decided to take her to urgent care because she told me she couldnt breathe. Reporter the decision was made for mariana to be transported by ambulance to this Childrens Hospital.

And she decided she dont want to get vaccinated. I dont mean to make you feel badly because youve gone through so much. My guess is, and im making an educated guess, that she wished that you had insisted her get the vaccine. Yes. Reporter currently there are children as young as 2 years old at this hospital. Of course children under 12 cannot yet get the vaccine. Last year at this time, doctors here say the typical numbers of children with covid coming into the Emergency Room on a daily basis were zero, one or two. Now they say that daily number is usually 11, 12 or 13. This doctor is a pediatric infectious Disease Specialist at the hospital. We are seeing more severe cases, were seeing more cases in the icu and seeing more cases that require longer duration of a treatment in the hospital.

Gary, thank you so much. For marianna and her mother for telling that story. There are all these laws about privacy inside hospitals and i feel like a lot of people dont really understand what is happening in these hospital icus. So to tell that story i think is really important. I know that it is a really scary time for parents. But the only thing that you can do is assess the facts, make the decision that is right for your Family Irrespective of anybody elses opinions. That is the only thing that you can do. 38 past the hour. Incoming governor of New York is promising to turn the page on her former boss toxic work environment.

And new this morning, intelligence assessments are warning that Afghanistans Capital could be cut off and collapsed within 90 days. The taliban making rapid gains in the country and experts say it is possible kabul could fall in a matter of weeks. We continue to monitor the situation in afghanistan closely. We are mindful of the deteriorating Security Situation and our focus right now remains on supporting the afghan forces in the field where and when feasible we can from the air as well as completing our drawdown in a safe and orderly way. Nick Paton Walsh is joining us. After 20 years of the u. S. Military campaign in afghanistan, major cities there continue to fall, ten in under a week. Do you think this represents a defeat in that part of the world . Reporter yeah, i mean, look, when president biden said that they would be leaving unconditionally, it is likely that there would be a taliban resurgence or significant grab of territory. But i dont think that anybody really thought that wed see this much movement in under a Week And Weve learned this morning that the second really major city to fall to the taliban, ghazni, has happened. And increasingly imperils the capital of kabul. Yes, ten provincial capitals now, two of them significant cities, many other cities significantly under threat particularly in the south, this the second largest city of afghanistan kandahar experiencing a Jail Break Yesterday in which A Thousand criminals were supposedly released. And now of course eyes turning to kabul unthinkable for many as little as a month ago that we would be talking this summer already about how long kabul might might be able to hold out against the taliban. So the question i think is really how much Effort Security forces are able to put in, how secure that city can be kept, what conditions will be like inside of it. And that u. S. Assessment absolutely stark. Deeply troubling times, but many see this as the inevitable consequence of the u. S. Decision. You heard there, they are repeating very familiar points from the last decade while simply city after city seems to be falling to the taliban. Nick Paton Walsh live for us, thank you.
