Dr. Fauci talks with ABC15 about flu, COVID and vaccines abc15
In an interview, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and medical advisor to seven U.S. Presidents, says he is concerned about what appears to be rising cases in states like Arizona.
"We are in a very, very tough flu year," explains Dr. Fauci."The good news is that the vaccine that is available for flu is matched very well to the strain. So if you get vaccinated, there is a good chance you'll get a good degree of protection." But something else that Dr. Fauci acknowledges many people are experiencing: COVID fatigue - the idea that many people are growing tired of masking up or getting boosters in order to combat the coronavirus now that we are entering the third year of the pandemic.
As far as the future of COVID-19, Dr. Fauci believes we will need regular booster shots but says we don't know yet how often we will need one.
