A top epidemiologist is warning a surge of coronavirus infections is likely to hit the U.S. in the coming weeks due to the spread of the more contagious COVID-19 variant first identified in the United Kingdom.
Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota and a member of President Biden’s transition team, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” the U.S. may need to shift its vaccine strategy and focus on administering the first dose of the vaccine to as many people as possible instead of trying to get people their second dose.
