Fauci is scheduled to retire from the government next month after more than five decades of service.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, is scheduled to brief reporters from the White House on Tuesday in what is likely to be his final briefing before leaving the government at the end of the year.
Fauci was expected to press the idea that Americans should get up-to-date on their COVID and flu shots ahead of winter. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci has been a near-constant presence at White House briefings throughout the two years of the COVID pandemic.PHOTO: Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Anthony Fauci listen as President Donald J.
