Dr. Vivek Murthy:
Well, and that is the purpose of the vaccines, is to prevent exactly what you said, Judy, severe disease, hospitalizations, and death.
And the good news is, in the data that we presented and published and pushed out publicly today, you can see that the protection remains high against severe disease, hospitalization and death.
But the goal here, Judy, is for us to be ahead of the game. We are anticipating where Delta is going, what the vaccines will be doing in terms of their level of protection. And we're doing what is actually very common with vaccines, which we are offering a boost.
And so I want people to also know this, that booster shots are very common with other vaccines. This is not unusual, what is happening, but this will help extend the excellent protection that we have gotten to date from the vaccines.
