On Thursday, September 2, White House chief medical adviser Dr Anthony Fauci stated that three doses of the vaccine against coronavirus disease are likely to become the standard regimen for most people.
This comes amidst medical experts advising the US regulators on vaccine doses as they remain concerned over what they perceive as "political interference" by the Biden administration in the review process of booster shots with regards to the COVID-19 vaccine.
According to reports, while speaking to the media, Fauci stated, "I must say from my own experience as an immunologist, I would not at all be surprised that the adequate full regimen for vaccination will likely be three doses."
Meanwhile, earlier on Thursday, September 2, Maharashtra health minister Rajesh Tope urged the Centre to supply three crore vaccine doses a month for the state. The minister made these statements during a virtual conference with Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya.
While talking to the media, Tope said that he has requested the Centre to grant more doses for Maharashtra. The Union minister has taken note of it. If the Centre grants enough doses, the state should be able to complete the vaccination of all adults in the state in the next two months, he added.
