US speeds up vaccination before Autumn – Winter

The director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Rochelle Walensky yesterday signed a recommendation on the third dose of Pfizer vaccine for children 5-11 years old. Meanwhile, demand for vaccines for younger children is growing in the United States.

The United States is witnessing an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, averaging up to 94,000 cases per day in the past 7 days. Besides that, there are about 3,000 hospitalizations and 275 deaths every day.

The US government predicts there could be 100 million cases of COVID-19 next fall and winter, as the immune impact of current vaccinations fades. Hospitalizations and deaths are also expected to increase.
