Although more people are getting vaccinated, the nation’s assistant secretary of health says we still have a long way to go.
"This is a good place right now, but we now have to redouble our efforts," Dr. Rachel Levine said.
News 8 spoke with Levine for the first time since the former Pennsylvania health secretary took her new post in the Biden administration.
Levine said the increase in new cases and more contagious strains highlight the need to get vaccinated.
"We all need to work together to get the vaccinations and support each other," she said.
Levine said she got a shot a little more than two weeks ago.
"I received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. That should show my confidence in the vaccine," she said.
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel will decide Friday whether to lift the pause on the J&J (Janssen) vaccine. Use of the vaccine was suspended last week due to blood clot concerns.
When asked if she believed the J&J suspension is impacting Americans’ decision to get vaccinated, she said, "I think that this should reassure people about our dedication to safety because the monitoring systems that we have work."
Vaccine hesitancy is an issue. Data shows just over 50% of health care workers have chosen to get shots.
"Being the first, maybe they were hesitant because that was in December or in January, so now that there have been hundreds of millions of doses that have been administered, people can feel even more comfortable about their safety," she said.
Levine said she believes herd immunity will be achieved, although people may need boosters.

He wouldn’t have this post without this charade.
Same excuse for putting Bruce Jenner on the cover of Vogue.
I will not take medical advice from an individual who has no idea what gender it is.
My life is too valuable.
Haha.
GROSS
I once was in a bar that had the restrooms marked Pistols and Holsters.
>> ... she said.
Anyone besides me have that WTF moment?
She, she, she, she. They keep using that word. I don’t think it means what they think it means.
Wow, she is so hot! /I hope the sarcasm tag is really, really, really, really obvious
Excellent choice, Mr. Biden! /and yet again...
I don’t think the purse goes with the bows in the hair.
Though the bows in the hair are really a nice touch.
I think this person should dress that way for all public appearances with Joe Biden.
No, seriously, dress that way when appearing with Joe Biden in public.
The Russkies will be laughing so hard they won’t be able to push the “Launch” button on their missile consoles.
He’s just a perv who wants to dress up. No normal “woman” would wear that outfit.
Why would anyone turn to a mentally ill person like that for health advice?
It makes no sense.
If anyone knows about “herds”, it is Levine who looks like the head Buffalo at a stampede.
It makes no sense.

Makes sense to me, the same ones who believe this degenerate is a woman are the same that believe the Covid flu is a deadly , killer virus....
Never mind it has a 99.8 percent survival rate.....America has been duped and played by Satan’s best.

Bozette the Clown hasn’t aged well.
I thought we got rid of the dickless wonder. Why is channel 8 interviewing Richard Levine? Don’t they know that PA pawned him off to DC so we don’t have to hear from him again and more importantly never see the eff’n genital mutulator’s face ever again?
