Covid vaccine the same way we do other vaccines. we required child immunizations for measles, polio, rubella. why arent we doing that for the covid vaccine? that set the tone. i hope many will follow the example of l.a. unified. >> dr. leana wen, always good to have you on. >> thank you. just as we were speaking there is more news out of los angeles where the school district as we noted set to mandate vaccines for students 12 and older attending in-person classes. the board of education will v...

Of reproductive number, over five, maybe as high as eight, it means 80% to 90% of everybody, not just the adults, has to be vaccinated. it may three mrna immunizations or two j&j immunizations. its a high bar. we do it every year for measles. the question is can we do the same for covid-19? weve eliminated measles, i think we can eliminate covid-19 as well. it means another piece to this, and that is vaccinating the planet. if we leave the african continent completely unvaccinated as it is now, ...

But for months weve been told it was relatively safe to participate in these outdoor activities without a mask. what are your thoughts on that? >> well, what happened was we wound up not doing a good a job as wed hoped vaccinating. the biden administration says we vaccinated 170 million americans, and thats true. but weve also not vaccinated 80 million eligible americans. so thats a disappointment. and this delta variant is so much more transmissible. so, well have to see whether these big footb...
