Original title: Fauci: there are still about 66 million people in the United States who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 or caused the fifth wave of infection.
Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the White House, said on October 17th local time that there are still about 66 million residents in the United States who are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Residents who are not vaccinated with COVID-19 will pose a threat to the country's control of the COVID-19 epidemic, which may lead to the fifth wave of novel coronavirus infection peak.
Fuqi said that with the arrival of winter, the peak of novel coronavirus infection is at risk of making a comeback. However, this risk can be prevented by vaccination.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 77 per cent of US people aged 12 and over have been vaccinated with at least one dose of COVID-19 and 67 per cent have completed two doses of vaccination. (CCTV reporter Xu Xun)
