Epidemiologist predicts Florida will soon reach COVID herd immunity
An epidemiologist in Florida says there may be one benefit to the delta variant. He thinks it’s helping us inch closer to herd immunity in Florida.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Americans who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 will need an extra dose 8 months after they got their second shot.
That's the recommendation from the president and top health officials. Booster shots are expected to become widely available next month. People with compromised immune systems are already able to get a third COVID vaccine shot and starting September 20, the rest of American adults will be able to get one too.
