Fauci: ‘It May Turn Out’ that the Ultimate Proper Immunization Regimen Is a Three-Dose Regimen

Fauci told CNN’s Jim Acosta that the goal continues to be more vaccinations.

What we’re observing now, not only here in the United States but in other countries, including Israel and the U.K., that the durability of the protection tends to wane, particularly in the context of the Delta variant.
