jha: no. we have had slow and steady progress but the bottom-line is we need more americans vaccinated. the weather is getting colder outside, as you can tell. we know the virus each of the last two years -- we have seen substantial increases late december into january. going out and getting vaccinated right now is a great way to protect yourself if that happens. reporter: the federal government purchased 171 million doses of the vaccine and so far you have 35 million into arms. that seems like a far cry from what the government paid for. is your expectation you will ever hit the 171? dr. jha: let me talk about the purchase we made. first of all, our goal is to make sure we have enough vaccines for everybody. in rural areas, you end up having to do with the fact that you may have a vial of five doses and may able to -- may be able to get out three. second is over time there will be updates that the fda makes. they may make a decision that one of the vaccines is what you want to use as a primar

ashish jha, who is the white use covid coordinator, thank you so much. dr. jha: thank you. today from a reliable source that the federal reserve may start to taper its string of consistent interest rate hikes as soon as next month. at the same time, the central bank tries to tamp down inflation. but that doesn't mean higher interest rates are over yet. and as william brangham tells us, some democrats and economists worry the fed has already hit the brakes too hard. william: judy, the fed has raised interest rates six times this year. today, federal reserve chair jay powell suggested again during a speech at the brookings institution that a seventh hike albeit a smaller one is on the way next month. in a wide-ranging interview, he signaled rates could remain high for some time to combat inflation. and he said that while rising wages were not the reason inflation initially spiked, he said they're a key part of the puzzle now. chair powell: the inflation that we saw at the beginning of this episode back in march of 2021, it was not really related to wages at all. it was relate

ashish jha. dr. jha, great to see you.k about covid and what you expect to happen this winter. obviously we're all getting ready to celebrate thanksgiving with our family and then hanukkah, and then christmas, and so if you look back at what happened last year, exactly a year ago, things were down. covid cases were down, and then you see a huge spike if we put up this graphic in december and january, and then it levels off again, you know, in march and april. are you expecting to see that again this year? >> yes, alisyn, thanks for having me back. what i would say is we know that the virus circulates more efficiently when the weather is colder. people are spending more time indoors and as you said, each of the last two winters we have seen an increase in covid cases and i think it stands to reason that we're going to see that again. i'm hoping we're not going to see anything like the spike we saw in january, but we may very well still see a lot more infections in the weeks and months ahead. the good news though is that we

ashish jha, welcome back to dr.e, thanks for shaving me back. we're seeing a resurgence of flu, we're seeing covid cases tick up but the good news is we've got two highly effective vaccines and the most important thing people can do to protect themselves and their families this holiday season is to get those vaccines. we're ready to help hospital if they're overwhelmed and extra staffing we're ready to manage this flu and covid season ahead. >> get vaccines for both, how should people sequence those vaccines? >> yeah, i will tell you i got them both at the same time, totally safe and reasonable to do that, that's what i've been recommending, if you want to keep them apart that's fine, but it's totally safe and very effective at the same time and then you're done. >> you have one very tough day when you get them both at the same time. i spaced myself out and had two medium bad days over a couple of weeks, but how effective is this year's vaccine against the flu? >> yeah, it's actually quite effective. it's not every

ashish jha, what the white house's covid coordinator is calling a six-week sprint to try to get moremericans to get boosted ahead of the rest of the holiday seasons. it will include a public education campaign with some paid advertising on digital and on tv around the world cup, $350 million to boost community health center vaccination efforts, $125 million in grants to support vaccination efforts aimed at disabilities and elderly communities, and then also the cms, the center for medicaid -- medicare services is expected to send out a letter to nursing homes reminding them on their duty to educate their members of the benefits of covid vaccination. but the unmistakable message today from dr. fauci, from dr. jha, was that listen, these vaccines are effective, they have new data to show that these bivalent boosters are indeed effective, and that they can prevent deaths. we're in a situation right now where dr. fauci and dr. jha said we could essentially have nearly every death that's happening from covid be prevented by these vaccines but in order for that to happen more people, parti

ashish jha. doctor, always a pleasure to see you. i thank you for being with us.e concerned about the potential of another winter surge like the one we saw last year? >> thanks for having me back. we are planning for a variety of scenarios. what we know is we are seeing a rise of both flu and covid and obviously rsv is at pretty high levels. there's some data that rsv is starting to turn down and i'm hoping that pans out, obviously. here's the other factor we know, if people go out and get the highly effective flu vaccine, we have a very effective flu vaccine this year, and we have a very effective covid vaccine, if people do those things, it will put a substantial kind of relief for hospitals, it will dramatically reduce the demand for hospital care. we're trying to make sure americans understand that there's a lot they can do to protect themselves and keep those hospitals functional for all the other reasons that we need hospitals. >> and so, doctor, talk to me about this highly effective flu vaccine. it's the quad, i guess, vaccine. what is effectivetivity look
