In the past, they have given the thumbs up to 16 and i7—year—olds and other groups before that. so the result of that is that the uks chief medical officer will now have to draw up their guidelines for parents and families in different parts of the uk. so, i rather a strange turn there, given that in the us, for example, france and canada, theyve gone ahead with injecting i2—year—olds a little while ago. so it shows that theres still quite a lively debate on whether it is a good idea. an...

Recovery in the uk, i not a, kind of, constraint—led. recovery, i think the argument for vaccinating teenagers welll intensify in the coming weeks. just picking up on exactly that point about this being a vaccine—led recovery, the question has arisen about should the fortunate people in the uk whove had one or two doses get a third dose, a booster vaccine. because theres some evidence that, although limited, emerging from israel, for example, that vaccinated so much earlier than many other c...

Forward with experts and scientific community assessing exactly what its consequences might be. right now i would say its not time to get too worried. neil: what about the boosters shots the administration had been pushing, doctor? i know the cdc and fda are concerned about the timing, whether we need to rush it, a couple of people at the fda resigned over it, where are you on this? >> well, im one of the docs that made the recommendation that we need to look seriously at offering boosters parti...

Reassuring for the vaccinated and really made me feel like maybe boosting is not necessarily just yet, because we see for example that a vast, vast majority of the hospitalizations are in the unvaccinated, even though in massachusetts, most people are vaccinated. so its really a good sign. were seeing the vaccine efficacy, effectiveness, hold with respect to whether you get hospitalized or not, so what im seeing on the ground matches that. which is for the most part, when i see somebody whos sic...

Unfortunately, and i think the american people need to know what it really means. >> i am confused. what does this mean? i mean, you read on the screen there september 20 booster rollout may be scaled back to just pfizer vaccine at first. what does that mean? if somebody took the moderna vaccine, would they get a pfizer booster, or its only people who got pfizer vaccines get a pfizer booster? >> i think there is a lot thats unclear at the moment. although i might gently disagree with dr. fauci h...

Flags. and thats good news. the one thing that ill look at at the vrbpac meeting is if theres increase in myocarditis. myocarditis was a rare event that occurred in young individuals, really rare, 300 cases out of 20 million. it was more common after the second dose. so you want to get some confirmation that its not going to accelerate after the third dose. i dont think thats going to be the case. i think its going to be safe. but again, this is why we have a process and we work through things l...

Weeks. this is pending fda approval. elizabeth cohen joins me now. elizabeth, hes been looking at others have to data from israel that have shown both the danger here but the effectiveness of the boosters. tell us what youre learning. >> that is right, jim. and that is what is causing dr. fauci and others to say, you know what, now is the time for boosters. to be clear, fauci and others have pretty much always said, look, weve seen boosters are in our future. and theyre saying that now it appear...

Countries that may be the effectiveness of vaccines can wayne. yes committee effectiveness can wayne according to that research in israel and in other countries as well, but this fairly positive data following the boosterjabs such had been rolled out in israel, so, the key thing for the uk is whether to do the same. a decision has been made about those with suppressed... but will it be rolled out to the wider population starting with older age groups? that is a decision which has not been announ...

Not covered by the media, if this were in florida and they were protesting governor desantiss mask policy i can imagine many others in the press would be clamoring for interviews and taking any shots they could down there. look, the kids have a point though, too. there has been a lot of articles now questioning the effectiveness of these overly broad universal school mask mandates. i was reading one from a doctor in san francisco just yesterday and they say the benefits are less firmly establish...

And if yes, when? i -year-olds be offered a second dose, and if yes, when?— and if yes, when? i ask the jcvi about this. _ and if yes, when? i ask the jcvi about this, and _ and if yes, when? i ask the jcvi about this, and they _ and if yes, when? i ask the jcvi about this, and they said - and if yes, when? i ask the jcvi l about this, and they said the plan is still to offer the second dose. they dont know which vaccine or when exactly, theyre waiting for more data about that side effect to c...
