White House struggles to increase vaccination rates as Delta variant surges and mask resistance continues

Sat, 2021-06-26 10:48 — mike kraft
‘A tough slog’: White House struggles to increase vaccination rates as Delta variant surges Only about 46 percent of the U.S. population is vaccinated, and the number of doses administered has fallen by almost 300,000 per day since June 7, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So now, many regional governments across the vast country are obligating some workers to get vaccinated and requiring the shots to enter certain businesses, like restaurants. AP NEWS

Researchers looking into possible benefits of people receiving two different coronavirus vaccines

Fri, 2021-06-25 09:41 — mike kraft

The most widely used coronavirus vaccines are designed as two-shot inoculations, and nearly everyone worldwide who has had both doses has received the same vaccine both times.

But that is changing, as more countries are allowing — and even, in some cases, encouraging — mix-and-match inoculation, with people receiving a first shot of one vaccine, and then a second shot of a different one. On Tuesday, Germany’s government revealed that Chancellor Angela Merkel had received two different shots, adding to the growing interest in the practice.
