Amid a growing push for passengers on domestic flights to show proof of vaccination, Dr. Anthony Fauci said he doesn't see it happening in the near future. He said such a decision would be made with 'input from a number of parts of the government.'
Amid a growing push for passengers on domestic flights to show proof of vaccination, top infectious-disease expert Anthony Fauci said he doesn't see it happening in the near future.
"On the table is the issue of mandates for vaccine," said Fauci, Biden's chief medical adviser. "It's always discussable, we always wind up discussing it, but right now I don't see that immediately." During Sunday's interview, he declined to weigh in on whether he supported a mandate, saying he did not want his comments to be taken out of context.Vaccine requirements have become more widespread for travel, even without a domestic mandate. Starting at a still-undisclosed date in November, international visitors will have to show proof of vaccination and a negative test to enter the country.
Some public health experts have also voiced support. In a Twitter thread earlier this month, Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, described a 5 1/2-hour flight he took while sitting next to an unvaccinated woman whose mask kept falling below her nose.
