uche blackstock, and thank you for rolling with us. what the president was confirming in the oval, the department of affairs will have to get the vaccine, and it is a mandate before the vaccine is fully authorized by the fda. what do we make to that? >> it is sending a strong message that the biden administration has wanted to refrain before the legal waters of the vaccine, and jen psaki said that the federal government's role is not to be involved in vaccine mandates, but today, an announcement that there are going to be vaccine mandates for health care workers and everyday we are hearing more and more about different institutions and cities to mandate vaccines. we are in a country where only half of the total population is being vaccinated and we are seeing the surges. so until we get this under control, we will have the mandates like this to motivate people and encourage people to get vaccinated. >> as a practical matter, does it matter that this is happening before the vaccines are fully authorized? >> it is a great question, and t

uche blackstock. good to see you all. gabe, tell us about the push for vaccinations and what we're expecting to hear from president biden. >> reporter: yes, as you mentioned several states are lagging behind in the vaccination rate. especially significant issue over the weekend because with nearly 50 million americans on the move, it was the busiest weekend for travel since the pandemic began. according to triple a. remarkably, last month, in june, the covid was the seventh leading cause of death in the u.s. that is a remarkable drop since early this year. as you mentioned, several states are lagging behind in vaccination rates, 14 of them, in fact, chris, are under 40% for adults that are fully vaccinated. you can see the graphic, that's less than first dose of the covid-19 vaccine. less than 40% of adults in those states have gotten that first dose but president biden and the administration is making the renewed bush because of the delta variant. and they're hoping to see an up tick in vaccination rates when more worker

uche blackstock, founder and ceo of advancing health equity. always good to see you, dr.tors in arkansas, missouri, saying they're seeing covid patients who are younger and sicker than earlier in the pandemic. tell me what is behind that trend? >> right. and this is a trend that we're also seeing among pediatric mis according to some physicians there as well. what we know is the delta variant is definitely more transmissible. easier to spread. we don't have enough data yet to show that it's more deadly or causes more severe disease, but obviously, what we're seeing in these states where the level of vaccination rates are quite low, is especially concerning. this could be also tied to the fact that those younger people may have underlying medical problems like chronic diseases, high blood pressure, asthma or obesity, that may make them more vulnerable to the delta variant. but that we need more information on that. it is concerning and it is a trend that we need to continue to follow. >> all right, let's talk about vaccine reluctance, vaccine hesitancy. we had residents of
