I think for the people who waited for him, but it's a small number of people, but I think that's meaningful: I think it can tilt them to be vaccinated, but I also think that for businesses and universities who have thought about setting up needs to create safer spaces for people to work and learn, I think this movement of the FDA, when it comes, help them advance with this kind of plans.

That's why we do not recommend booster today because you still have good vaccine protection. But the week of September 20th waiting for the FDA and CDC advisory groups weighing in this area, it is when we plan to start the boosters and we will do everything we can build on our experience since The last months for people to have access to people accessing the boosters and to make sure they have accurate information from credible sources.

"We already know that there are many companies and universities that have evolved into vaccine requirements," said Murthy. "And I think it's a very reasonable thing to do, to create a safe environment. There is only one thing that I think we have to do that some states have done to create a safer school environment , and this requires school employees, including teachers and other staff are vaccinated also to create a safer environment for our children. I think all these are reasonable because when we are confronted with The most communicable variant we have seen so far - the alternative of the delta-when we have our children, essentially the point of concern in our schools and their health and well-being on the line. We must take each step that We can. And so I think these measures, these requirements we see are absolutely reasonable. "
