WASHINGTON (Reuters) – People who are reluctant to get the COVID-19 vaccines could end up prolonging the pandemic, U.S. National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins said on Thursday.
Collins said in an interview with Fox News that he is not worried about having enough vaccine supply but whether enough Americans will take the vaccines to reach herd immunity. “That could basically cause this pandemic to go on much longer than it needs to,” he said.
