Fauci: Israeli data shows booster shot is 'absolutely essential'

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Chief Medical Advisor to US President Joe Biden, on Friday highlighted Israel’s experience regarding booster shots of COVID-19 vaccines when arguing that offering these shots to the entire US population would become an “absolutely essential part” of fighting the pandemic/

“When you look at the data from Israel, it’s very clear that (the booster) reverses some of the waning effects that you see in people who have been vaccinated for six months or more,” Fauci said on “The Daily” podcast and quoted by Haaretz.
