Rochelle Walensky says CDC is ‘pivoting’ the language of what it means to be fully vaccinated
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the health agency is pivoting on the CDC’s language of what it means to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
“And what we really are working to do is pivot the language to make sure that everybody is as up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines as they personally could be, should be, based on when they got their last vaccine,” Walensky said during Friday’s press briefing from the White House COVID-19 response team.
“So, importantly, right now, we’re pivoting our language,” Walensky added. “We really want to make sure people are up to date.”
Walensky defined “up to date” as: “That means if you recently got your second dose, you’re not eligible for a booster, you’re up to date. If you are eligible for a booster and you haven’t gotten it, you’re not up to date and you need to get your booster in order to be up to date.”
Only weeks ago, Walensky said the CDC is not changing the definition of what it means to be fully vaccinated. – READ MORE
