It's likely that three doses of the Covid-19 vaccine are needed for full protection, Dr. Anthony Fauci said.
He cited two Israeli-based studies that showed a decrease in infections among people who got a third or booster shot.There was good reason to believe that a third dose"will actually be durable, and if it is durable, then you're going to have very likely a three-dose regimen being the routine regimen," Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said at a briefing Thursday.
Reddit takes action against groups spreading Covid misinformation To prevent similar outbreaks, some universities have instituted mandates to attend classes in-person. Virginia Tech disenrolled 134 students for failing to comply with the university's requirement that students be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, and"did not submit vaccination documentation or receive a medical or religious exemption," according to a statement on Monday.
