Fauci urges Americans to get vaccinated, boosted ahead of Thanksgiving as COVID cases rise: "We've got to be careful"

As COVID-19 cases rise nationwide, Dr. Anthony Fauci is urging Americans to get vaccinated or boosted before traveling and gathering with their families for Thanksgiving.

"We've got to be careful," he told "CBS Mornings" in an interview Monday.

The warning comes as the seven-day average of new coronavirus infections tops 92,000, a nearly 30% increase in just two weeks, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hospitalization rates are also starting to climb, raising concerns about a potential new wave of infections during the holiday season.
