Mentrestant, els funcionaris van dir que una persona no es considera completament vacunada fins a dues setmanes després de la darrera dosi necessària.
El doctor Walensky també va crear més confusió sobre la vacuna afirmant que les persones encara haurien de portar màscares en públic, fins i tot si han estat inoculades completament del COVID-19.
