The U.S.’s top infectious\u002Ddisease doctor still stressed the \u0027vaccines are still doing what you originally want them to do\u0027 — to keep people out of the hospital…

In San Francisco, anyone who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can get a supplemental dose of Pfizer Inc. or Moderna Inc.’s shots at city-run sites, if they wish to do so after consulting with their doctor, according to the city’s Department of Public Health.

When asked if other groups should get booster shots, Fauci said the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is ready to give a recommendation as soon as they see clear evidence to do so from the data. But, he stressed: “The vaccines are still doing what you originally want them to do — to keep you out of the hospital to prevent you from getting seriously ill.”Fauci said he also supports vaccine mandates at local levels, such as schools and universities, after a full approval from the Food and Drug Administration on the COVID-19 vaccines.

A full approval could arrive “within the next few weeks,” Fauci added. “I hope it’s within the month of August.”
