Fauci: 50 million deaths from 10 infectious diseases have been prevented by vaccines, just between 2000-2019.

Per The New York Times, the seven-day average on new COVID cases is below 80,000 for the first time since July.

Vaccine requirements, masking indoors, boosters, increased vaccinations due to delta all making a difference.

“The bottom line is we have to be prepared,” Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General said of the Administration's plan to vaccinate young kids. He explained preparations include securing vaccine supply, standing up sites that parents and kids trust, and ensuring parents have answers to their questions.

Some good stuff from @potus this morning:

United Airlines - 97 percent of employees are now vaccinated

Dept. of Defense - 92 percent of active duty personnel are vaccinated

We're on track to put 24 million shots in arms in September.

1.1 billion doses for the world.

To put that into perspective: For every 1 shot we’ve gotten in the arm of an American so far — we’re now donating 3 shots to the world.

That’s American leadership.

Jeff Zients: Foreign nationals, flying to U.S. will be required to be fully vaccinated and must must show proof of vaccination before boarding an airplane to the U.S. Unvaccinated Americans will have stricter testing COVID requirements as part of a new contact tracing system.

Do vaccine requirements work? Let's check

✅@United went from 59% to 90% vaccinated in 6 weeks
✅Department of Defense 🇺🇸 went from 76% to 89% in 3 weeks
✅LSU went from 63% to 81% with a month left
✅Fox News, Kaiser Permanente, Rutgers University are all at 90% or above.

So yes, vax requirements work

For too long our economy has failed Black women. It's morally unacceptable AND a suppression of our nation's full economic potential.

Closing this gap is essential to building back better.

More than 99.99% of people fully vaccinated against Covid-19 have not had a breakthrough case resulting in hospitalization or death, according to the latest CDC data.

More Americans got their first COVID shot in the past 24 hours than any day in the past month. Progress!

Big Friday just in: +857K doses reported administered over yesterday's total (vs. 600K last Friday)! This includes 563K newly vaccinated, highest since July 1. Over 190M Americans with at least one dose. 69.6% of adults with at least one dose. Let's do this!

I know people talk about freedom, but with freedom comes responsibility.

Your decision to be unvaccinated impacts someone else.

Please get vaccinated. For yourself. For the people you love. And for your country.

Today’s announcement makes clear that the most important protection we have against the Delta variant is the vaccine. Although most U.S. adults are vaccinated, too many are not and that has to change.
