FDA, CDC, and [the National Institutes of Health] are engaged in a science-based, rigorous process to consider whether or when a booster might be necessary,\u201d they added. \u201cWe continue to review any new data as it becomes available and will keep the public informed. We are prepared for booster doses if and when the science demonstrates that they are needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an interview earlier this month, NBC\u2019s Chuck Todd said to Fauci, \u201cWe know Mississippi \u2026 has the lowest vaccinated race rate in the country. You are in Biloxi, Mississippi right now, Dr. Fauci. Would you be wearing a mask? You\u2019re fully vaccinated, but would you be wearing a mask in Biloxi?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that would be a good reason to do that,\u201d Fauci said. \u201cI mean because they\u2019re \u2014 as we\u2019ve said so often that vaccines are not \u2014 even as good as they are and highly effective, nothing is 100%. And if you put yourself in an environment in which you have a high level of viral dynamics and a very low level of vaccine, you might want to go the extra step and say, \u2018When I\u2019m in that area where there\u2019s a considerable degree of viral circulation, I might want to go the extra mile to be cautious enough to make sure that I get the extra added level of protection, even though the vaccines themselves are highly effective.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Fauci said people who are fully vaccinated might \u201cwant to consider\u201d once again donning a mask indoors amid the spreading Delta coronavirus variant of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who served on former President Trump\u2019s White House Coronavirus Task Force and is now President Biden\u2019s chief medical adviser on COVID-19, said on CNBC that \u201cif you want to go the extra mile of safety even though you\u2019re vaccinated when you\u2019re indoors, particularly in crowded places, you might want to consider wearing a mask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Delta variant currently accounts for an estimated 83% of all new cases in the US., according to the CDC.
