The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to publish guidelines in the coming days for what is considered safe for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, said Dr. Anthony Fauci Sunday.
The White House chief medical adviser said federal guidelines will be available “soon” after officials delayed their release last week.
“When you talk about benchmarks of people who have been vaccinated and how a vaccinated person can interact with an unvaccinated person or with unvaccinated people, those guidelines are really getting into the hands of the CDC. I’d imagine it, in a few days for sure, ” Fauci told CBS anchor Margaret Brennan on ‘Face the Nation’.
As far as the entire country can resume normal life, Fauci said Americans “will have to stay there a little longer.”
“One of the things I think we need to point out is that every day that goes by that we’re in control, things are going to get better and better as we now put at least two million vaccinations every day in the arms of individuals,” Fauci said.
“And as the days and weeks go by, you have more and more protection, not only from individuals, but also from the community. So we are moving in the right direction. “
