Walensky Vs. Fauci Continues After CDC Director Says ‘No Plans’ To Change Definition Of ‘Fully Vaccinated’
After a week of America’s top health officials talking across each other, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stated on Wednesday that the agency won’t change the definition of “fully vaccinated” to include a Covid-19 booster shot – once again ‘clarifying’ for comments made by Dr. Anthony Fauci (see below), who suggested on Tuesday the the language was being replaced.
So while the definition of fully vaccinated will continue to mean one has received their primary course of vaccines, the CDC will start pushing the term “up to date,” to encourage people to get boosted.
White House Covid-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients elaborated, saying “Someone is considered fully vaccinated if they have received their primary series of vaccines, so if you think about the different requirements that you mentioned, travel, [Occupational Safety and Health Administration], [and Centers for Medicaid & Medicare] rules and other examples, that has not changed and we do not have any plans to change that.” – READ MORE
