8:02 am
vaccine. on may 15th anyone who gets vaccinated at the speedway will get to drive their own car on the track for two laps. i love how in most states you to sit and wait 10 minutes to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction. in alabama they're like here's the shot. make sure you're doing at least 90 when you're in the first turn. here you into. >> i don't know. driving your own car, too. i don't know about that. >> no littering on the speedway. >> i was a little woozy after my shot. we're going to begin this hour with another big step toward getting out of the pandemic and back to normal life. the fda is expanding the emergency use authorization for the pfizer can have vaccine to includege 12 to 15. the vaccine is 100% effective in preventing illness among those in that age group. the decision will allow nearly 17 million more americans to have the vaccine if they want it. a cdc adviser ri committee
8:03 am
is expected to give an approval at the meeting tomorrow clearing the way for the shots to be given. more than 261 million covid vaccines have been administered across the u.s. about 35% of americans have been fully vaccinated. >> we're joined by dr. william greta thu gruber. it's good to see you. you're the perfect person to talk about this with this morning. let's think about this. >> great to be here. >> so many adults are already very hesitant to get the vaccine. how in the world do you convince them to let their kids get it? earlier in the newscast we had somebody that said parents need to be encouraged and they need to have incentive. what's your best pitch to the parents out there? >> yeah. i think the first best pitch is, of course, the fda has
8:04 am
authorized emergency use for adolescence 12 to 15 years of age. it builds the large group of individuals for which the vaccine is now authorized. we're now talking about individuals 12 years of age and up. and i think there are three things. this affords an opportunity to protect the adolescent against covid-19, although they less commonly have severe disease, they can end up in the hospital. it allows us to make a major step forward in terms of herd protection to protect all of us. and an importantly, it allows adolescence being able to engage in sporting activities, to be able to go back to school, to be able to engage in drama club or gather in groups. it provides an opportunity to get back to normal life. >> al that sounds good. we've all heard the arguments before and people still aren't there. what's the downside? there always seems to be a downside with these things.
8:05 am
>> yeah. i think really the -- very little in the way of down sides. your commentator earlier commented on the fact that sometimes individuals can have a little bit of fever, chills, and fatigue. just as we've seen in 16 to 25-year-olds and older individuals as well. but this is a small price to pay for the potential to provide protection and get back to normal life. >> when we say the vaccine is 100% effective, what exactly does that mean? does that mean if you're 12 to 15 years old and you get this shot, you won't get covid? >> i think this means that's what we observed in the clinical trial. we had zero cases in the vaccine recipients, and 18 in those that received placebo. we're encouraged likely to have efficacy. of course, there may be breakthrough cases but certainly what we observed was 100% efficacy and gives confidence
8:06 am
that the vaccine is likely to work. >> doctor, pfizer's trials for children as young as six months old are ongoing. what if anything is different about those trials? >> yeah. so that's a very good question. we obviously are very attentive to being deliberate and careful as we move down in age. it may well be the case that the current dose that we use in adults and 12 to 15-year-olds we need to reduce for younger children. so we have gradually moved down in age from 5 to 11-year-olds to 2 to four years to six months to two-year-olds with starting off with a low dose and then working up in dose until we get to that goldilocks spot, just right, providing the right amount of protection and being well tolerated. >> when do you think results might be available from those trials? >> yes. i think we'll have results in
8:07 am
the fall from our children that we're vaccinating two years of age and up and probably late at the end of the year or the beginning of 2022 for children six months to two years of age. >> we keep hearing about the possibility of booster shots. what can you tell us about that? what determines whether you're going to need a booster shot or not, and when will you need a booster shot? >> yes. so we actually have ongoing studies to look at two things. one, to determine whether a booster shot can provide an immune response that will provide protection just like the first two doses, and we're also, of course, with that looking at making sure that that dose is well tolerated. and we're looking at the population that's already received two doses of vaccine to determine how long that protection lasts. and the combination of that information will inform us and the cdc and thefda about the
8:08 am
best time for a booster. >> how long do you think it will be before we know whether we need a booster shot? >> i think we'll have some information as early as the end of the summer or early fall in time to make decisions about the potential for offering up a booster. but it may well be the case that the vaccine provides more durable protection and a booster might not be needed for up to a year. >> so right now we don't know how long the vaccine lasts? >> we know that it lasts at least up to six months. we have good data that we've presented publicly. and we'll be publishing shortly that indicates that up to six months the vaccine has very high efficacy. >> all right. dr. william gruber interesting information. thank you so much. ahead we'll talk to author stacey abrams about her new political thriller and whether the fictional story of a

has to unravel a national conspiracy that goes to the highest levels of government. stacey abrams joins us now. good morning. a great "the new york times" interview that ends abrams has realized what surely was her chief ambition, to entertain. that's good news. first, while we have you, there are some twists and turns in our world as we live it that i want you to comment on if you could. there are about 11 states right now in the country that have passed restrictions on voting that could have a big impact on 2022 and beyond. what concerns you the most about what you're seeing right now? >> that, rather than this bringing every american to attention and raising their concerns, this is being treated as a partisan exercise. unfortunately, this is republicans who are stripping access to the right to vote from all americans, and it is a danger to our democracy. this is not about who wins an election. it's about whether we have elections that are free and
8:17 am
fair. and unfortunately, in these states we're seeing a response to free and fair elections by trying to strip away and restrict access, particularly for communities of color, young people and disabled. and that is deeply problematic and should be a concern to everyone. >> so there is the issue of how it affects trust in our elections, the act of democracy itself. and yet the practical, political implication. what does this mean, do you think for 2022 for democrats' chances? >> again, i certainly recognize that i enter this conversation as someone who has a very strong allegiance to the democratic party but we not relegate this and be reductive that we think about this as a purely political issue. because the reality is, no 345er9 what the intent, the undermining of our democracy is a danger to everyone, regardless of their party, and that's why this is so urgent that we stop treating this as a binary conversation between republicans and democrats and focus on part.
8:18 am
>> the senate will debate on an interesting bill called before the people act and it would create federal standards for voting access. some minimums for providing access to the ballot box. doesn't seem to have a chance. what do you think? is there a path forward for this bill? >> i think the more we watch these states undertake the continuation of what the insurrectionists began on january 6th the more likely we are to see real response at the federal level. this is not the first time the federal government has had to step in and reassert shoo we are as a nation. my hope is while this process continues in the u.s. senate we see a return to fundamentals. we've got former secretaries of state, former governors, sitting in that body right now that understand how important it is to protect the right to vote for every american. >> stacey abrams, you're known for "hidden sins ""secrets and
