Surgeon General Murthy is right to be a booster for booster shots

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy made sense on several of Sunday’s weekly news shows when he said the time is nearly right for booster shots to be offered to, and recommended for, many already vaccinated Americans.

Responding to critics who say America shouldn’t horde the vaccine by offering the public third doses while hundreds of millions across the globe still have not received a single dose, Murthy said we can do both. “We have to protect American lives, and we have to help vaccinate the world because that is the only way this pandemic ends,” Murthy said on ABC’s This Week.
