WELL, WITH EVERY NEW PHASE
OF THE PANDEMIC COME NEW
QUESTIONS AND THE NEW
GUIDELINES FROM THE CDC TODAY
THAT WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE
EARLIER RAISE SEVERAL.
SO JOINING US NOW TO FIELD SOME
OF THEM IS DR. DAVID BANACH
OF UCONN HEALTH.
DR. BANACH, THANKS FOR SPENDING
A FEW MINUTES WITH US.
SO WE ALWAYS APPRECIATE IT WHEN
YOU COME ON WITH US.
FIRST LET'S HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS
IN THE NEW GUIDELINES FOR US.
IT SOUNDS LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE
FULLY VACCINATED WITH OTHER
PEOPLE WHO ARE FULLY VACCINATED
CAN GATHER RELATIVELY NORMALLY
RIGHT.
RIGHT.
RIGHT. SO
RIGHT. SO THEIR UPDATED GUIDANCE FROM
CDC REALLY FOCUSES ON
ACTIVITIES OF VACCINATED
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. SO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN
VACCINATED CAN CONGREGATE IN
SMALL SMALL GATHERINGS WITH
OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ALSO
BEEN VACCINATED WITHOUT USING
THE PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND
MASKING MEASURES.
MASKING MEASURES. THERE'S ALSO NEW GUIDANCE
SAYING THAT THEY THAT THAT
PEOPLE ARE FULLY VACCINATED CAN
GATHER WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
VACCINATED AS LONG AS THEY ARE
CONSIDERED LOW RISK FOR SEVERE
DISEASE.
DISEASE.
DISEASE. WHAT THAT MEAN?
SO THAT'S THAT'S A REALLY
IMPORTANT POINT.
IMPORTANT POINT. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT VACCINATING
INDIVIDUALS AND THAT'S ALL
BASED ON THE PREMISE THAT WE
KNOW THAT VACCINE REALLY
PROTECTS AGAINST TRANSMITTING
INFECTION BUT IT'S NOT
FOOLPROOF RIGHT.
FOOLPROOF RIGHT. THERE IS A SMALL RISK THERE
THAT SOMEONE IS VACCINATED
COULD POTENTIALLY BE
ASYMPTOMATIC SO NOT HAVE
SYMPTOMS AND INFECT OTHERS.
SO THAT'S WHY WHEN WE'RE
LOOKING AT MIXED GROUPS WHERE
ONE INDIVIDUAL IS VACCINATED
AROUND ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO'S
NOT, THERE'S THAT POSSIBILITY
THAT THE VACCINE AND AN
INDIVIDUAL INDIVIDUAL COULD
POTENTIALLY BE ASYMPTOMATIC AND
SPREAD INFECTION TO THE
UNVACCINATED PERSON.
UNVACCINATED PERSON. SO IF THAT UNVACCINATED PERSON
IS SOMEONE WHO HAS A HIGH RISK
SAY OLDER AGE, OTHER MEDICAL
CONDITIONS, THAT KIND
OF SITUATION SHOULD BE AVOIDED
WITHOUT THE PREVENTIVE MEASURES
LIKE THE DISTANCING OF THE MASK
AND THAT KIND OF MIXED
SITUATION.
SITUATION. REALLY THE BEST THING IS FOR
EVERYONE TO BE WEARING MASKS
AND MAINTAINING THAT DISTANCING
YOU KNOW, REALLY THE
FLEXIBILITY OF BEING ABLE TO
MEET UP WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE
WITHOUT WEARING MASKS AND
WITHOUT DISTANCING REALLY
FOCUSES IN ON THOSE GROUPS
WHERE BOTH BOTH PARTIES ARE
FULLY VACCINATED AND BY FULLY
VACCINATED IMPORTANT.
VACCINATED IMPORTANT. REMEMBER THAT'S AT LEAST TWO
WEEKS FROM THE SECOND DOSE FOR
THE MODERNE IN THE FIZER
VACCINES IN THE FIRST DOSE FOR
THE CHANGE VACCINE AND AS YOU
SAY, A SMALL RISK REMAINS EVEN
AFTER YOU'VE BEEN VACCINATED.
AND YET, DR. BARDIC, THIS HAS
TO BE HAPPENING BECAUSE THE
VACCINATION ARE WORKING WELL,
IT SEEMS LIKE I'VE READ THE
VACCINES ARE ACTUALLY
OUTPERFORMING THE EFFICACY
RATES THAT CAME OUT OF THE
TRIALS.
TRIALS.
TRIALS. OH, ABSOLUTELY.
OH, ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN WE'RE GETTING SO MUCH
PROMISING DATA COMING TO SHOW
THAT WE KNEW FROM THE TRIALS
THAT THE VACCINE IS PROTECTIVE
AGAINST INDIVIDUALS BECOMING
SICK WHO'VE BEEN VACCINATED.
SO WE FELT REALLY REASSURED BY
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. BUT
THAT. BUT EVEN PROTECTING AGAINST
SPREADING THE VIRUS NOW MORE
AND MORE DATA IS COMING OUT.
THERE'S DATA FROM ISRAEL TO
SHOW THAT THE VACCINE REALLY
PROTECTS AGAINST ASYMPTOMATIC
INFECTION.
INFECTION. SO PREVENTING TRANSMISSION FROM
PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE SYMPTOMS.
SO THIS IS ALL REALLY
ENCOURAGING AND REALLY MEANS
THAT WE ALL GOT TO GET
VACCINATED AND THAT'S GOING TO
BE REALLY CRITICAL IN REDUCING
THE SPREAD OF INFECTION.
SO YOU KNOW, VACCINES WORK IN
TERMS OF PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM
BECOMING SICK BUT REALLY NOW WE
HAVE THAT DATA TO SHOW THAT
THEY'RE VERY EFFECTIVE IN
PREVENTING SPREAD.
PREVENTING SPREAD. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THERE'S NO 100
PERCENT GUARANTEE ON THIS ONE
BUT THEY DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE
THE CHANCES OF OF SPREADING THE

>> SO YOU
>> SO YOU KNOW, I THINK, YOU KNOW,
THE HERD IMMUNITY QUESTION I
THINK NEEDS TO BE REASSESSED
BASED HERD IMMUNITY ON THE IDEA
THAT INDIVIDUALS IF WE GET A
CERTAIN PERCENT OF THE
POPULATION VACCINATED, THERE
WON'T BE THAT RISK AND WE'LL BE
ABLE TO DRIVE DOWN TRANSMISSION
OVERALL.
OVERALL.
OVERALL. BUT KNOWING THAT THESE VACCINES
ARE PROTECTIVE AGAINST NOT JUST
PEOPLE BECOMING SICK BUT ALSO
PREVENTING THE SPREAD
OF INFECTION, I THINK WE HAVE
TO START TO TAKE THAT INTO
ACCOUNT WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR
OVERALL GOALS IN TERMS
OF REDUCING VIRUS SPREAD.
SO YOU KNOW, I THINK THE HERD
IMMUNITY PIECE IS THERE BUT I
THINK HAVING THIS CONTEXT
OF KNOWING HOW EFFECTIVE THE
VACCINES ARE AND PREVENTING
VIRUS SPREAD, I THINK WE HAVE
TO START FACTORING THAT INTO
THE EQUATION WHEN WE START TO
THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE AND WHAT
WE'RE LOOKING AT.
AGAIN, THE GOAL IS REALLY IF WE
CAN GET AS MANY PEOPLE
VACCINATED AS POSSIBLE THAT'S
GOING TO PROTECT PEOPLE THAT
ALSO DRIVE DOWN THE RATE
OF VIRUS SPREAD IN THE
COMMUNITY AND THAT'S GOING TO
BE SO CRITICAL MOVING FORWARD.
SO YOU KNOW, EVEN JUST
RE-EMPHASIS RAISING THE
IMPORTANCE OF GETTING
VACCINATED TO PROTECT YOURSELF
AND PROTECTINGL THO AROUD
VACCINATED TO PROTECT YOURSELF U.D PROTECTINGL THO AROUD
VACCINATED TO PROTECT YOURSELF U.>>PROTECTINGL THO AROUD
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. DR. DAVID BANACH,
