Garrett good evening to our viewers in the west, and Thank You for joining us. Im Major Garrett in for norah. We begin tonight with growing Concern And Confusion over whether vaccines provide enough protection against the dangerous Delta Variant of coronavirus. Tonight the c. D. C. And f. D. A. Say they do, and americans who have gotten their recommended doses, two for Pfizer And Moderna and one or Johnson Johnson dont need to do anything else. This rare pushback comes after pfizer surprised the government and said its vaccine begins to wane after six months and wants authorization to give out Booster Shots. But the biden administration says theres no evidence those boosters are needed, at least not now. At the same time tonight the c. D. C. Is issuing new guidance for millions of families, urging all children to return to school this fall, and the agency says Masks Wont be necessary for fully vaccinated teachers and students. It is a lot to sort out, so dr. Ashish jha is standing by to answer your questions. But first, cbs Nikki Battiste is going to lead off our coverage from new york. Nikki, good evening. Reporter major, good evening. The Javits Center here in new York City has served as one of the worlds largest massds Lars Vaccination sites, but tonight its shutting down, just as cases of the Delta Variant are rising and less than half the country is vaccinated. Tonight, pushback from two top federal Health Agencies on the need for a Booster Shot, the c. D. C. And f. D. A. Telling americans who have been fully vaccinated in a written statement they do not need a booster at this time. It comes after Pfizer And Biontech officials announced they were seeking Emergency Use Authorization for a booster because Antibody Levels in the blood may decline six months after immunization. Independent studies have suggested that immunity from full vaccination is likely to remain robust for years even against variants. Is there some sort of scientific evidence they should look into a booster . Not at this time. Reporter Doctor Celine Gounder is an infectious Disease Specialist at Bellevue Hospital in new york. I think the headline here is that if you have received both does of the pfizer or for that matter the Moderna Vaccine, you are fully protected against severe disease, Hospitalization And Death even with the Delta Variant. Reporter gounder says the J J Vaccine is also holding up well, but cases are rising in 26 states, and hospitalizations rates are up in 17 states, 27 in florida, almost exclusively among the unvaccinated. This as the c. D. C. Released new Guidance Urging schools to fully reopen in the fall, saying vaccinated students and staff do not have to wear masks, and that social Distancing Isnt a requirement for Inperson Learning even in areas with high case rates. I think that new guidance is essentially meaningless unless you have a way to track who has been vaccinated and who hasnt. Reporter 21yearold Emma Jenks is one of the last peoplee to get a v to get a Vaccine Dose at the Javits Center before it shuts down. I feel that the people im around are much more protected because im now vaccinated. Reporter pfizer tells Cbs News Tonight it regularly discusses its Research Program with public Health Officials around the world, but dr. Fauci said in an Interview Tonight they were not given a Heads Up and pfizers c. E. O. Even apologized to him. Major. Garrett so many complexities. Nikki battiste, Thank You. For more on all of this, lets bring in dr. Ashish jha, dean of brown University School of public health. Doctor, pfizer claims its Booster Shot will bolster immunity. The federal government says boosters arent necessary now. Can you please help us clear up this confusion . Right now the Science And Evidence says that two shots of the pfizer or Moderna Vaccine is more than good enough to protect you against all the variants out there including the Delta Variant. So until we see better data that says a third shot is necessary, i remain very comfortable saying we should stick with the two shot regimen and see where things unfold. Garrett does the spread of Delta Variant that we keep reading about accelerate the timeline . The Delta Variant is by far the most contagious Variant Weve seen. Definitely important everybody get the two shots. If we start seeing data that says the vaccines are not holding up as well as they did initially, i think thats probably the motivation at that point to think about a Booster Shot. I would say talk of boosters is premature. Garrett if infections reach a certain level should vaccinated individuals become concerned and look for otherok options . The Delta Variant is spreading in unvaccinated communities and causing a lot of unvaccinated people to get hospitalized and even die, thats whos really getting sick and dying right now. Anytime you have large outbreaks, you have opportunities for more variants, and that is an unfortunate mix that weve got to try to avoid. Garrett data shows the Johnson Johnson vaccine offers a lower degree of protection. Should people who received J J have new concerns . Yeah, you know, i dont. I have a lot of colleagues and friends who have gotten the J J Vaccine and my recommendation to them has been hold tight, and the reason is while the Headline Number of infections is a little protection against that is a little bit lower, protection against severe illness, hospitalization, the stuff we really care about is absolutely terrific with the J J Vaccine. Garrett dr. Ashish jha, Thank You very much. Thank you. Garrett tonight much of the west, including nearly all of california is under excessive heat warnings. June was the hottest month on record in the u. S. , but some places, including las vegas, could hit alltime highs this weekend. Death valley, california, coulds weekend.

If you dont believe it because you dont believe science, got to believe your eyes. Reporter California Governor Gavin newsom has declared a Drought Emergency for nearly the entire state, urging people to voluntarily reduce Water Usage by 15 , that means cutting back on watering lawns, Running Dish Washers only when full and a taking shorter showers. In the desert of palm springs, the Tripledigit Heat is keeping Search And Rescue teams busier than usual, saving stranded hikers like james. So, is this guy lucky . Hes very lucky.

During the Moment Of Silence marking the transition from rescue to recovery, some victims families took the time to personally thank him and his team. Its heartbreaking, but thats what keeps them going. Its extremely difficult because we feel we feel the pain, we feel the agony that theyre feeling, theres nothing good about what happened here, other than trying to proviitosue that are left behind.

The afghan government dismissed the claim, but no one disputes that the talibans rapid territorial gains are causing shockwaves in the capital and increasing concerns at the u. S. Increasing embassy. Its only a few short miles from the u. S. Embassy to the airport, but long before the u. S. Drawdown, american diplomats have been shuttling back and forth by helicopter. The roads are too risky.
