At present, the injection of the coronavirus vaccine in the United States is under way, but the shortage of vaccine supply and the frequent infection of variant strains have caused public health experts to diverge and begin to discuss whether to change the vaccination arrangements.
Osterholm, who advised Biden’s Transitional Administration on the epidemic work, and some experts suggested: “First of all, ensure that more people can be vaccinated with the first dose, which can effectively prevent a new outbreak of the epidemic.”
Fauci, a public health expert in the United States, said that there is no research on which vaccination method is more effective, but considering the urgency of the situation, it is necessary to advance the vaccination according to the existing plan.
“There is no conflict between the two,” Fauci said, “while providing the second dose of vaccine to those who have been vaccinated as planned, as much as possible to ensure that more people can receive the first dose.” Fauci said it is not appropriate to spend too much energy on the ICP at present, but to build on the available data and information to advance vaccination as soon as possible.
