The United States recorded more than 163,000 newCOVIDCase Thursday, the highest of nearly seven months - and many of them were too young children to bevaccinated. Meanwhile, the FDA should give a "complete approval" to the Pfizer vaccine as soon as tomorrow and that the recall shots should be available to people eight months after their last dose of Pfizer and Moderna. With all this in mind, the surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy spoke with Martha Raddatz onThis weekTo clarify how to keep and your KS safe today. Read 5 essential advice - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseSure sign that you have "Long" Covid and may even know.
The General Surgeon stated that hospitals are filled with children; Here's how to keep them safe
Children's hospitalizations are increasing. Mr. Murthy said he is really heartbreaking to see what's going on with our hospitals, filling out children. We have more children hospitalized now than we have in earlier points of the pandemic. And you know, like a relative of two young children who are too young to be eligible for vaccination, I really feel for parents whose children are sick. And I feel really strongly that it's our moral responsibility as a society to do all we can to protect our children. And this means that the number one, we are all accomplished as adults: "including adults," is important because the children too young to come back, they rely on those around them to protect them from the virus. But it is also why we make sure we take every possible step in schools to ensure that our children are sure are so important. And these include masks, improving ventilation, doing regular tests and ensuring that our children are outside as possible. These are the steps we owe T Ake. We have the responsibility to protect our children and I can not think of anything more important than that. "
The general surgeon said that here's what you need to know about your return shot
"There are many things that Americans should know about the reminder announcement that we have recently completed. The number one is that vaccines continue to work remarkably well to prevent people from being in the hospital and they save lives. So we do not recommend boosters today, but what we see is a decline in protection against mild to moderate diseases. And so we anticipate, there may be a Erosion and this important protection we are seeing today in the line. And that's why they stay ahead of this virus. We recommend that people start getting boosters the week of September 20th. It will start with people to their anniversary of eight months after their second shot. And by necessity, we will finish with high-risk people, including long-term health workers, residents of health care facilities. e long-term for other health workers, as well as the elderly. "As for those who have shot Johnson and Johnson:" We are planning ... they will probably need a reminder "but an ad is yet to come.

The general surgeon stated that the FDA would approve the boosters so you know that it is for sure
"This is why the plan we announced is really possible on the FDA and the CDC Advisory Committee doing their complete and independent evaluation. The security is absolutely essential in this process. And we would not execute a plan if the FDA does not weigh and say that this third blow was in fact safe. So, the plan is undergoing that. But again, keep in mind that, that we have considerable experience with these vaccines. So far They were given to hundreds of millions among people here and around the world. Security held. We will wait for the FDA to weigh on the third dose and with their blessing, we will then proceed to this plan for boosters. "

The general surgeon stated that we had to protect ourselves and the world at the same time
Raddatz said "The World Health Organization has requested a temporary break on boosters to help developing countries. The administration said, we must do both, but can we really do that? There is a limited amount of these vaccines. " "Well, Martha, we have no choice," Murthy said. "We must do both. We need to protect American lives and we need to help vaccinate the world because this is the only way this pandemic ends. And if we assume that the pie is fixed, so to speak, so to speak, so to speak, so to speak, so to speak, so to speak. Offer is not change, then yes, take more vaccines or Americans in the form of boosters will remove from the rest of the world. But our goal has been to grow the pie. This makes the increase in supply. And that's why in addition to giving more than 120 million doses of vaccine and progress on the commitment of 500 million doses from this month, that the President announced earlier in the summer, We also work with companies and with other countries to defend the manufacturing capacity. So we can really strengthen the production of the vaccine. We have to work on both fronts. This is the only way to end with the pandemic. "

The general surgeon said that soon "complete approval" of the vaccine against Pfizer and here is what that means
"The FDA has certainly evaluated the request for a full approval of Pfizer and, you know, I will not have ahead of them, but what I will tell you is that I would not be surprised. They published complete approval soon. And the reason is that it has so much data now, and we as a world of experience with these vaccines. It is really unusual for a complete approval request to be submitted with this experience, with hundreds of millions of people who received the doses. And there are two things we learned during this period. We are that vaccines are remarkably effective in keeping people out of the hospital and Saving lives. The other is that their safety profile remains remarkably strong. I expect if, and when it comes from the FDA, the complete approval of two potential things can happen. We may see more people to come. Those who were perhaps on the fence on the Getting vaccinated and this can tilt them to do it. But self, I think you will see more universities and workplaces that are considering implementing vaccines to create safer places to learn and work. You will see more of them probably advance on their plans to demand vaccines in the workplace. So be vaccinated as soon as possible or get your booster after 8 months and protect your life and the lives of others, do not visit these35 places you are most likely to catch Covid.
