US chief infectious disease specialist Anthony Fauci revealed the possible dangers of Pfizer and Moderna's strategies to vaccinate people against coronavirus with just one dose of the drug, not two. His words were published by The Hill.
He spoke after negotiations with representatives of the British medical system, where they have already switched to single-dose vaccinations. The United States, in his opinion, should not follow the example of the British.
“We tell people to get two shots … and then we say, 'Oh no, we changed our minds'?” Fauci asked. He believes that such behavior by the authorities may increase doubts about the need for vaccination and ultimately reduce its effectiveness.
Fauci said that by mid-summer, every American who wants to will be able to get two doses of the vaccine from Pfizer and Moderna, in addition, a vaccine from Johnson & Johnson is being prepared for a license, for the effect of which one injection is quite enough.
A day earlier, the infectious disease specialist warned that new mutations of the virus could reduce the effectiveness of vaccinations, but they should still be done.
