or moderna vaccine, or 14 days after your single-dose of j&j vaccine. today, cdc is updating our recommendations for fully vaccinated people, and providing guiding principles and sample activities to give people who are fully vaccinated away to assess their unrest for covid-19 and determine what situations are safe. if you are fully vaccinated, things are much safer for you than those who are not yet fully vaccinated. this guidance will help you, your family, and your neighbors make decisions based on the latest science, and allow you to safely get back to the things you love to do. i am optimistic people would use this information to take personal responsibility protect themselves and to protect others , and i hope it will encourage people to get fully vaccinated. there are many situations where fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks, particularly if they are outdoors, as shown by the graphic on the right. if you are fully vaccinated and want to attend a small outdoor gathering with people who are vaccinated and unvaccinated or dine at an ou

vaccinated. 46% of adults have had at least their first shot, and 28% are now fully vaccinated across the u.s. we have made significant progress in vaccinating americans over the age of 65. 78% have had at least their first shot. by this time next week, all adults across the country will be eligible for vaccine. this means there has never been a better time than now for seniors to get their shots. make an appointment today. if you have someone in your life, particularly a senior who has not gotten the shot yet, reach out and see what help they need. all of this is happening because of the accelerated pace of the country's vaccination program. in the last seven days, the u.s. has reported administering nearly 22 million shots. that is more than 8% of the adult population in a single week. while we are pleased with this, we are making even more doses available. over the last three weeks, we have sent out nearly 90 million doses. even with uneven supply from johnson & johnson, we are distributing va

our vaccination program was never built on one vaccine. we have plenty of vaccines. there are tens of millions of doses already out in the country of moderna and pfizer ready to be administered. now, all adults 16 and older are eligible for shot. we have plenty of vaccine supply to have all adults get vaccinated. as to india, i will first of dr. -- i will first have dr. fauci comment. it is a very difficult situation. dr. fauci: thank you jeff. india is going through a terrible situation now. yesterday they had the largest number of cases ever reported by any country. they have a situation where there are variants that have arisen. we have not yet fully characterized the variants and the relationship between the ability of the vaccines to protect. but we are assuming they need vaccines. the cdc is helping out by consulting with them as they have in other countries. they are giving technical assistance. but it is a dire situation. we are trying to help in any way we can. we have to see how things go and obviously they need to get people vaccinated because that is the

fully vaccinated. today's event also occurs against the backdrop of caution. we have a ways to go with respect to vaccination campaigns. variants are circulating and we are seeing americans exhibit less cautious behavior. echo additional challenge that may grow as supply outpaces demand is vaccine confidence in racial minorities, white rural americans, and young americans. a poll found that 25% of the american public will probably or definitely not give vaccinated. those polls had -- those polled had concerns about side effects, tend to be republican and are usually younger. we will talk about how to increase vaccine confidence using a multifaceted approach to address side effects, distrust of the medical community, and a feeling by many that they do not need the vaccine. we will hear from experts from a variety of fields. we will also hear from the ceo of an institute announcing the launch of a new national task force. this will be followed by a discussion moderated by susan with a terrific panel of e

vaccines are available. for those who are hesitant about vaccines, we have a great deal of confidence in the ability of the american people to do their own homework, to make up their minds based on the data. next slide. so let's take a look at what vaccines are. they're efficacious in clinical trials, effective in real-world settings and they're safe. there's data, not just opinion, but data to back each of that all. -- that up. and we invite people who are in the process right now of making a decision about whether they want to get vaccinated to look at the real transparent data. next slide. have these vaccines been efficacious in clinical trials? next slide. we know for sure they are. this is -- this is work that has been done in tens of thousands of people in clinical trial, has been peer reviewed independently, and published in scientific journals. with pfizer and moderna showing the efficacy here from "the new england journal of medicine" papers. next slide.

vaccines. to help reverse this divergence, we all need to take strong actions to end the health crisis. right now, vaccine policy is the most important economic policy and we need all hands on deck to boost vaccine production and ensure fair distribution including by reallocating excess dollars from deficit countries. our work indicates that managing the health crisis could raise global income cumulatively by $9 trillion between now and 2025 with benefits for all countries. this is enormous, this is the very best investment we can make today. if you think of what we need to achieve this $9 trillion in terms of financing, the cost of vaccine policy is only a small, tiny fraction. we need to do whatever it takes to boost production of vaccine, not fight about sharing the pie of available vaccines but expanding this high and speeding up distribution and vaccinations so everyone, everywhere can get that vital protection against the pandemic. at the covax facility, we have a vital role to play in th

as we are vaccinating record numbers of people, we have many more people to get vaccinated. we are seeing cases rise. our whole of government response is accelerating to get americans vaccinated as quickly, efficiently, and equitably as possible. we are working to put this pandemic behind us as fast as we can. we are not there yet. we need everyone to do their part. that is why the president called on every governor, mayor, and local leader to maintain or reinstate mask mandates. to be clear, as our vaccination efforts move forward, we need everyone to follow the science and listen to the expert. wear our mask, socially distant -- wear our mask -- wear a mask, socially distance, and get a vaccination. >> we are vaccinating close to 3 million people a day. nearly 40% of all adults in the united states have received at least one dose and more than one in five adults is fully vaccinated. it is inspiring to see many americans embrace vaccinations. the massive scale of the vaccination is the key to protecting american people and inching us closer to -- our lives. we have the resp

with those vaccines.o one of the things you can take away from all of this is that when the surveillance system, the c.d.c. and the f.d.a., say that something is safe, you can be sure that it is safe. >> brennan: the c.d.c. director was on this program in february, and said at that time there were other vaccines being looked at, either to deal with different strains, as she put it, or booster vaccines. do we know yet which ones need it, and when should americans expect to have to go out and get a booster? >> doctor: you know, we're going to find that out soon, margaret, because you determine whether a booster is needed to the particular virus that you're dealing with, like the standard virus. if you get a level of immunity, which is measured generally by antibodies, when that level starts to fade down to a certain critical level, then it is a good indication you'll need a boost. or if you start to see ktgh inftions, riginal virus s wh a variant, even though a person is vaccinated, you might want to boost

and get vaccinated. so, on behalf of them, who have worked so hard this year, please take that advice. wear a mask. wash your hands. avoid large gatherings. and get a vaccine. i hope this we are last surge. so please join with us to take these protections to be sure it is the last surge, and that we have a healthy michigan. thank you. governor whitmer? gov. whitmer: thank you. so, i'm here with dr. j, and tina, and we are happy to take questions. >> why recommend rather than read wire for high school -- why recommend it, rather than require it, for high school sports? gov. whitmer: this pandemic has been hard on everyone of us and we are all tired of this, and the actions we have taken over the course of the pandemic have saved lives. especially in the face of a novel virus which we did not know much about one year ago, especially in the face of a second surge where we did not have vaccines on the horizon, we know now we have the tools we need, to protect ourselves. and it is less of a policy problem we

the vaccines are. and this week is a reminder that safety is our top priority. even when an extremely rare safety event occurs, our scientific agencies will act with thoroughness and transparency so people can remain confident in the vaccines recommended to them. and as such attention the j&j news have received, what i'm most concerned about, the numbers the most on my mind, are the rising cases and hospitalization among those who are not vaccinated. over the past year, the virus keeps reminding us that the risks of actually getting covid are quite significant. it cost us more than 500,000 friends and family members and has led to hospitalizations and prolonged symptoms for many, many more. we all want the same thing. which is turn this pandemic around and protect ourselves and our loved ones. to that end, our best path forward remains getting vaccinated and continuing to take the prevention measures that we know work. wearing a mask, washing our hands, and avoiding indoor gatherings with people outsid

, the vaccinated and the vaccination system. instrumental to this work is eliminating the barriers to vaccination in communities of color and other disproportionately affected groups. covid-19 has underscored the importance of addressing long-standing systemic health disparities as a cornerstone of achieving health equity. and just this past week declared racism a public health threat and highlighted ways the cdc will come from the impact of the structural inequities to serve as a catalyst for greater education and dialogue around these critical issues. .. to while rapid approaches to each of these. in a sustained investment for public health infrastructure. i want to leave you with four points today. first, cdc is a science will continue to. second we are expanding improving vaccine confidence and doses have been administered. however, to end the pandemic we missed pension measures team. health equity must be at the introspection of any everything we do with public health and finally we must work toward sustainable investment f

vaccinated versus partially vaccinated. now when you look at the immune response to a single dose of mrna vaccines in organ transplant or cancer patients. clearly, the single dose was not adequate. this becomes really important. organ transplant large -- there are a lot of people who are on meds for autoimmune diseases that may not get a good enough response after the first dose and we absolutely want them to get the second dose. quickly, let's look at some of the data that backs up this clinical. i showed you this slide before. this is the pfizer biontech. we are looking at neutralizing antibodies after the first dose which is after 21 days versus the second dose which is at day 28 to 35. as you can see, younger individuals or older individuals, a dramatic difference in neutralizing antibodies between the first and second dose. we often talk about cell responses, the same thing. if you look at after the first dose, namely at day 29 on the responses to the spike protein and you look at the responses at day 29 versus day 43

not enough vaccines. few places to get vaccinated. shortage of vaccinators. and confusing rules on who qualified in every state, tribe, and territory. we got to work around the clock deploying a whole of government approach from the fema personnel who are getting shots in arms across communities in the country to the women and men of the armed forces who are overseeing the shipment and delivery of the vaccine and the scientists and clinicians and f.d.a., c.d.c., n.i.h. who ensured the safety of these vaccines. as a result, our vaccination program is now humming. and it's even accelerating. over 80% of seniors have had at least their first shot. up from 8%. and now 50% of adults in the u.s. have had at least one shot. up from 5%. and we now have one thing on our mind. making sure that the other 50% know how easy it is to get a shot. so if you still think it's too difficult to get your vaccine, here's what you need to know. the lack of supply, the shortage of locations, the confusing rules are all in the past. that cannot be said enough. thanks to the aggressiv

astrazeneca vaccine. i think i covered the bulk of your questions there. next question? >> let's go to shannon petty peace at nbc. shannon: i just wanted to follow-up on the j&j question a little bit more, actually. so, when do you think they will get to the 8 million doses a week? you mean that will be the end of the month, in week or two they will get to those 8 million doses, and when do you think there will be that fda authorization, just to make sure we are clear on that based on josh's question? and bigger picture, i know it is complicated and you are talking about things you are doing for the states, but can you explain why, again, you are not going to shift additional doses to states like michigan and new jersey -- why not give more doses to them now? is it because you feel they have enough doses, they are just not getting them to the areas they need them, or people are not being receptive to taking them? jeff: the first part of your question is when will j&j receive the fda authorization, which i

the guidance is vaccinated people around vaccinated people and vaccinated people around and vaccinateduals of low risk like children who are not at risk for severe disease. the cdc has also given guidance about travel with vaccinated people. this is the right thing to do. it increases vaccine optimism en you tell people that we are going to eventually get back to normal life without masks and distancing once we can get more of our population vaccinated. so there is a point to be said that eventually we're going to get back to the normalcy of not masking and distancing. we're just in the twilight period right now because we are not fully vaccinated there people desperate to get the vaccine who have not yet had the chance to get the vaccine. we are in a transition phase right now. very good thing to look at is israel and the u.k., which has had faster vaccination programs than we and israel is gradually easing restrictions -- they are at 60% first dose given now. they keep gradually easing restrictions lockdowns things are getting more and more normal. this is where we will get to if we

vaccinations increase with the most recent seven day average up 3 million vaccinations delivered daily, up 8% from the prior seven day period. while these rates are incredible, and so encouraging for all of us, trends are increasing in case numbers and hospitalizations. across the country we are hearing reports of clusters of cases associated with day care centers and youth sports. hospitals are seeing more and more younger adults, those in their 30's and 40's admitted with severe disease. data suggests that this is happening as we are seeing increase in prevalence of variants with 52 jurisdictions reporting incidents. based on our most recent estimates. the b117 is now the most common lineage circulating in the united states. testing remains an important strategy to rapidly identify and isolate infected individuals including those with variants of concern. these are pointing to two clear truths. one, the virus still has a hold, infecting people and putting them in harm's way, and we need to remain vigilant. two, need to continue to accelerate our vaccination efforts and take the respo
