KEY POINTS
The U.S. is "nowhere close" to achieving herd immunity from Covid, a CDC scientist said Friday.
The proliferation of new, more contagious virus strains requires a higher proportion of the population to get vaccinated.
The outbreak could get worse as immunity decreases over time among vaccinated individuals or those who have recovered from Covid.
