rochelle walensky. doctor, it's good to have you on the program.ant to ask, does the cdc have this data? do you have comprehensive data on whether those numbers changed considerably under the delta variant? >> thank you, chris. we are following these data very carefully. we're in touch with each state. we're in touch with many of the hospital systems. our results are consistent with what kaiser family foundation is finding. that is the overwhelming majority of inpatients and people who are getting sick with covid and certainly people who are dying of covid are those who have been unvaccinated. >> there's a little bit of a denominator problem that i think everyone is wrestling with right now in two different ways, in terms of breakthrough cases and in terms of children. so let's talk about breakthrough cases. my sense is that the cdc stopped monitoring breakthrough cases as a number in the aggregate in may, and there's been some criticism that that gives us not the best eyes on the virus right now. do you think that was a mistake? do i have it wrong

rochelle walensky and i asked her with more than half americans vaccinated why are the numbers goingwrong direction? >> we've always said this country is a very heterogenerous country and areas with high rates of vaccination we have lower rates of disease and this virus is an opportunist. it has gone to areas that have lowert is also a more potent, more transmissible virus. so both of those together are summing up to high rates of disease in areas that have been less vaccinated. >> every day, we hear about more and more people who have been fully vaccinated coming down with the infections. there have been some concerns that the cdc has not been more transparent on this issue. is there anything you want to say to clear the air on these breakthrough patients? >> i do want to articulate, we expected to see some breakthrough cases. no vaccine is 100%, and i think we should be really lucky to understand that this vaccine is working against severe disease, against hospitalizations, against deaths. >> dr. walensky, how do we turn around this wave? what's the best case in getting better? >>

. >> cdc director doctor rochelle walensky says that is up 44% from the week before.he says the delta variant is responsible for the latest surge in cases. >> some positive news on the vaccine front today over the last 2 weeks. california has seen a 41% increase in vaccinations. governor newsome % sharing those latest numbers on twitter today, right now more than 69,000 shots are being administered in our state every day. 63% of californians are now fully vaccinated. nearly 10% of the state is partially vaccinated. today we learned that the san francisco health department has been quietly giving out what it calls booster shots of ahe pfizer and moderna vaccines. >> to folks who have already received the one-dose johnson and johnson vaccine. the city's public health officials are saying that doesn't mean they're recommending that for everybody who got the johnson and johnson shot, but they are accommodating or at least they have been accommodating people who ask for it kron four's. maureen kelly has the story. >> according to the city's public health department. it's b

covid-19 is clearly not done with that's why cdc director doctor rochelle walensky stands by her agency's new masking recommendations. if you're in an area of substantial high transmission. please wear a mask in public indoor settings regardless of your vaccination status and walensky continues to urge americans to get vaccinated as the ultimate protection against current outbreaks are vaccines are working to prevent severe illness. hospitalization death. the white house covid-19 response team reports daily vaccination rates have now more than doubled in states with the highest case. rates. americans are seen the risk and impact of being unvaccinated and responding with action response coordinator jeff zients as the biden administration continues to help states offer vaccine incentives like a tax credit to small and medium sized businesses for paid time off and a $100 to anyone who gets fully vaccinated. if financial incentives like these help us get more shots in arms. we should use them. science notes. but the public and private sectors are also implementing more vaccine requirements. b

we're seeing increases in cases and hospitalizations in all age groups, cdc director doctor rochelle walensky warns the delta variant may cause more severe disease across the board than older covid-19 strains. we continue monitor this not just in adults but also in children. but education secretary miguel cardona says the recent surge should not stop schools from reopening this fall. it's all hands on deck. instead, cardona has a message to governors who have banned mitigation measures like mask mandates. in classrooms. don't be the reason why schools are interrupted. my kids have suffered enough. the biden administration is ramping up efforts to get more students vaccinated, including pop up clinics in every district and incentives right now. children under 12 years old, are not eligible for the shot and fewer than a 3rd age 12 to 15 have received at least one vaccine. it's our strongest tool. >> to combat the virus and get students back into classrooms on sports fields in school plays the white house is also encouraging doctors to ask students about their vaccination status during their phy

rochelle walensky. >> arthur want to provide an update on our whole of government response to the pandemic. we remain concerned about the continued rise in cases. ities of lower vaccination rates. the seven states with the lowest vaccination rates represent a .5% of the u.s. population -- 8.5% of the u.s. population -- one in three cases nationwide occurred in florida and texas this past week. from the start we have known that this virus is unpredictable. that is why we spent the last six months preparing for every scenario. as a result, we have the tools we need to manage this. the toll that is most important is the highly effective vaccines. we have enough vaccines for every american who wants one. they are free, they are easily accessible within five miles of 90% of where americans live. in just six month we have gotten 165 million americans fully vaccinated. including 80% of seniors were the most vulnerable. we have much more work to do to put this pandemic behind us. there are still about 90 million eligible americans who are unvaccinated. we need them to do their part. roll up their

during a white house briefing yesterday, cdc director, rochelle walensky looked to drive home that message. >> the delta variant is highly contagious. to put this in perspective. if you get sick with the alpha variant you could infect about two other unvaccinated people. if you get sick with the delta variant we estimate that you could infect about five other unvaccinated people. more than twice as many as the original strain. in all of this, there is still good news. our vaccines are working to prevent severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths. >> so, joe, that's what we're underlining here, we hear the headlines of breakthrough cases and there are, people vaccinated and getting covid-19, but as rochelle walensky pointed out there, if you get it and you're vaccinated, most of the time you're asymptomatic but certainly in almost all cases don't get sick enough to be in the hospital or die. we were talking earlier about senator lindsey graham who announced yesterday he did get covid-19 despite he's been vaccinated. but his symptoms are mild, he'll isolate, and he said he was grateful he

rochelle walensky said emerging data suggests some people with moderately to severely compromised immune systems do not always build the same imm immunity it is worth noting the cdc did not clear additional doses for fully vaccinated americans who are not immunocompromised or those who received johnson & johnson's single dose vaccine. today's announcement comes as covid cases in the u.s. have nearly doubled over the past two weeks alone. they've now averaged more than 123,000 new infections every day. hospitalizations and deaths, they are both rising as well dr. ann ramoine now, professor of epidemiology from the ucla school of public health, doctor, the cdc says 100 million americans are immunocompromised. how important was this decision? >> this is a really important decision that's come up today and this is because we have this group of people, somewhere between 7 and 9 million americans, 3% of our population, who are immunocompromised. they may have had organ transplants, may be on some sort of medication that will really tamp down their immunity and they are whenthey were able to ge

centers for disease control director rochelle walensky said thursday the shots will be made available to cancer patients, organ transplant recipients, and others who are less able to mount an effective immune response to vaccines. >> to be clear, this is a very small population. we estimated to be less than 3% of adults. amy: new orleans and san francisco said thursday all patrons to bars, restaurants, gyms, and other indoor spaces will be required to show proof of vaccination. new york city is adopting a similar requirement next week. on thursday, the u.s. supreme court ruled indiana university may keep the requirement students be vaccinated against covid 19 just as amy coney barrett turned down a challenge to the requirement without comment and without referring it to the full court. in florida, brevard county's fire chief is pleading with residents to cut back on 9-1-1 calls as a surge of covid-19 cases is overwhelming hospitals and leading to a shortage of ambulances. in broward, teachers union president anna fusco said in four broward county school teachers died of covid-19 in on

rochelle walensky said the spread was tracked in summer schools, summer camps, now tracking covid-19as schools are opening, she says the data still shows that masks are working. have a listen. >> the places that are having the problem, the places that are having disease that is transmitted in the schools, are the places that aren't taking the prevention strategies, the places that aren't masking. the places that you're seeing kids in the hospital, the footage of kids in the hospital, are all places that are not taking medicitigation strategie keep our children safe. >> it shows masks are working, and not wearing masks is tied to covid-19 spread. >> jacqueline howard, thank you so much. >>> and still ahead on this busy saturday evening, violence at the scene of a protest over vaccines in los angeles. cnn's paul vercammen is there. >> pam, we'll give you a brief look of what we're going to talk about in a few moments here. we had several hundred anti-vaccine demonstrators show up here, l.a. city hall. one man says anti-tyranny. we'll give you the update in just a few minutes. hands fee

rochelle walensky explains it. >> places that are having the problem, the places that are having disease is transmitted in the schools, are the places that aren't taking the prevention strategies, the places that aren't masking. the places that are you seeing kids in the hospital are all places that are not taking mitigation strategies to keep our children safe. >> and so far texas and florida are two states where we're seeing mask mandates in schools becoming politicized. in texas governor greg abbott prohibits mask mandates but two judges there have issued restraining orders temporarily blocking the enforcement of abbott's order and in florida governor desantis says parents should be able to decide if children wear masks or not, essentially blocking mask mandates. he has even threatened to withhold the salaries of superintendents and school board members who impose mask man mandates. so the battle over masks is very telling and all of this is while more schools nationwide gear up to reopen. christine and whitney, back to you. >>> a 14-year-old girl in missouri spending five days on oxy

i talked with rochelle walensky, the cdc director. she's talking regularly with the people in israel. our sense is that the good source of data and generally speaking as rule of thumb, we can assume what's happening there today, we're probably a month or two from things that will be under strong consideration here at that point in time. >> sanjay, how tuesday that working? is that something people would go to their doctors for, cvs, or pharmacies? or would they reopen mass vaccination centers? >> i don't think probably the mass vaccination centers -- andy would know better than me, but you're not going to have cohorts of people who may need these third shots, immunocompromised, now maybe it's health care workers or elderly for the reasons that andy's talking about that were vaccinated earlier and their protection is wearing down. but i don't think you would have a single rush. >> andy, is that what you're thinking? >> i think that's exactly right. i think we're probably going to start after with immunocompromised, you wouldn't want to
