U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy predicts there will be more vaccine warrants in the near future. On Sunday, he said he could see universities and companies imposing vaccine requirements.
This happens when the FDA announced that it has officially approved the Pfizer vaccine. The Biden administration is now anticipating a bigger push to vaccinate Americans.
“Two potential things can happen (after the FDA vaccine is approved),” Murthy explained. “One of the things is that you might see more people, those who might have been on the fence to get vaccinated, and that may incline them to do so. Second, I think you’ll see more universities and jobs that were proposing to establish requirements for vaccines to create safer places to learn and work, and you will see that more of them will move forward ”.

El cirurgià general dels EUA va continuar donant suport als districtes escolars perquè exigissin que els professors i el personal es vacunessin mentre afirmava que el trasllat és “raonable”.
A més, Murthy va dir que podrien ser necessaris trets de reforç perquè els nord-americans estiguessin millor protegits del coronavirus. Va explicar que, tot i que actualment les vacunes semblen una defensa forta contra el virus, la seva efectivitat pot no mantenir-se forta ja que els funcionaris sanitaris obtenen més dades.
Mentrestant, l’administració de Biden s’està preparant per iniciar el llançament de reforços a partir del 20 de setembre.
