BREAKING: CDC director tells Fox News federal government 'looking into' potential COVID vaccine mandate
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky joined 'Special Report' to discuss vaccine effectiveness, the delta variant and answer some viewer questions
"Overall, I think in general, I am all for more vaccination. But, I have nothing further to say on that except that we are looking into those policies." "I completely understand the pushback," she responded, adding that the COVID jab would not be the first vaccine to be mandated for institutions like public schools and the like – as polio, pertussis and other shots are already standardized.
"Some people haven't had access. Some people haven't had time off. Some people don't understand its benefits. Some people are worried about the side effects. Solve think as we go and try and provide information to people who are not yet vaccinated," she said, adding that the CDC must take charge of understanding vaccine hesitancy and respond with information that may convince such folks otherwise.
