The statement is attributable
to Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC); Dr. Janet Woodcock, Acting Commissioner, Food and Drug
Administration (FDA); Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General; Dr. Francis
Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH); Dr. Anthony
Fauci, Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden and Director of the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID); Dr. Rachel
Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health; Dr. David Kessler, Chief Science
Officer for the COVID-19 Response; and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, Chair of the
COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force:
“The COVID-19 vaccines authorized
in the United States continue to be remarkably effective in reducing risk of
severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even against the widely circulating
Delta variant. Recognizing that many vaccines are associated with a reduction
in protection over time, and acknowledging that additional vaccine doses could
be needed to provide long lasting protection, we have been analyzing the
scientific data closely from the United States and around the world to
understand how long this protection will last and how we might maximize this
protection. The available data make very clear that protection against
SARS-CoV-2 infection begins to decrease over time following the initial doses
of vaccination, and in association with the dominance of the Delta variant, we
are starting to see evidence of reduced protection against mild and moderate
disease. Based on our latest assessment, the current protection against severe
disease, hospitalization, and death could diminish in the months ahead,
especially among those who are at higher risk or were vaccinated during the
earlier phases of the vaccination rollout. For that reason, we conclude that a
booster shot will be needed to maximize vaccine-induced protection and prolong
its durability.
“We have developed a plan to
begin offering these booster shots this fall subject to FDA conducting an
independent evaluation and determination of the safety and effectiveness of a
third dose of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines and CDC’s Advisory Committee
on Immunization Practices (ACIP) issuing booster dose recommendations based on
a thorough review of the evidence. We
are prepared to offer booster shots for all Americans beginning the week of
September 20 and starting 8 months after an individual’s second dose. At
that time, the individuals who were fully vaccinated earliest in the
vaccination rollout, including many health care providers, nursing home
residents, and other seniors, will likely be eligible for a booster. We would
also begin efforts to deliver booster shots directly to residents of long-term
care facilities at that time, given the distribution of vaccines to this
population early in the vaccine rollout and the continued increased risk that
COVID-19 poses to them.
“We also anticipate booster shots will likely be needed for people who received the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine. Administration of the J&J vaccine did not begin in the U.S. until March 2021, and we expect more data on J&J in the next few weeks.
“Our top priority remains
staying ahead of the virus and protecting the American people from COVID-19
with safe, effective, and long-lasting vaccines especially in the context of a
constantly changing virus and epidemiologic landscape. We will continue to
follow the science on a daily basis, and we are prepared to modify this plan
should new data emerge that requires it.
“We also want to emphasize
the ongoing urgency of vaccinating the unvaccinated in the U.S. and around the
world. Nearly all the cases of severe disease, hospitalization, and death
continue to occur among those not yet vaccinated at all. We will continue to
ramp up efforts to increase vaccinations here at home and to ensure people have
accurate information about vaccines from trusted sources. We will also continue
to expand our efforts to increase the supply of vaccines for other countries,
building further on the more than 600 million doses we have already committed
to donate globally.”
