Delaying second doses of the Covid-19 vaccine so that as many Americans as possible can get the first dose is "not necessarily" what Dr. Anthony Fauci recommends, he said Wednesday.
About 70 per cent to 85 per cent of the US population should be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before the country can begin to return to a sense of normalcy, top infectious diseases expert Dr Anthony Fauci says.
So far, less than 2 per cent of Americans have received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to data from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
Across the US, nearly 34 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered, with more than 27 million people having received at least one dose - or just over 8 per cent of the population. About 6.4 million people have received both doses, the CDC data shows.
