CDC Not Changing Definition Of "Fully Vaccinated"...For Now: Walensky

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Jack Phillips

Currently, the CDC and other federal health agencies have defined one as fully vaccinated if they receive two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, two doses of Moderna's vaccine, or one Johnson & Johnson shot.

In Israel, officials recently announced individuals who have not received a third dose of the Pfizer vaccine after six months will not be counted as fully vaccinated.

It means they won't be able to use the "green pass" vaccine passport that is utilized for restaurants, gyms, and other venues in Israel.

When asked whether the CDC will change its definition, Walensky said that "we are not changing the definition right now of fully vaccinated."

As the agency gathers more "experience with our third shot and have more people who are recommended" to get the shot, then the CDC may change its guidelines around boosters, Walensky said during the White House's COVID-19 response team briefing.

Across the United States, some businesses and government agencies have made it mandatory for workers to get fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Should the CDC and other health agencies change its policy around who can be considered fully vaccinated, the rule would potentially impact tens of millions of people.
