Eight Per Cent in the US Are Skipping Their Second Doses of Covid Vaccines

Sun, 2021-04-25 11:58 — mike kraft

Millions of Americans are not getting the second doses of their Covid-19 vaccines, and their ranks are growing.

More than five million people, or nearly 8 percent of those who got a first shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, have missed their second doses, according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is more than double the rate among people who got inoculated in the first several weeks of the nationwide vaccine campaign.

AstraZeneca Vaccines Made at Troubled Baltimore Plant Were Shipped to Canada and Mexico

Sat, 2021-04-24 10:52 — mike kraft

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration said Friday that it did not know that a Baltimore factory had discarded millions of possibly contaminated doses of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine when President Biden last month released the company to ship vaccines manufactured there to Mexico and Canada.

Canadian and Mexican officials said on Friday that they had assurances from AstraZeneca that the millions of doses they received were safe. Some of the doses have been distributed to the public in both countries, the officials said.

Biden Administration seeks help in encouraging rural persons to get vaccinated

Fri, 2021-04-23 22:21 — mike kraft

The Biden administration is moving into a new phase of its campaign to vaccinate as many Americans as possible for the coronavirus, one where the government may not always be the best messenger to persuade people to get their shot.

So it's working to bring together hundreds of local and national groups into something it calls the COVID-19 Community Corps, enlisting people to help their friends, family and neighbors make appointments and get access to vaccines.

On a recent evening, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy led a Zoom call for people who have signed up to help. "I just want to remind you again, which we will keep doing again and again and again, that this is not just a government-driven effort," he said.

"It's about creating a community where we can celebrate what people are doing," Murthy said. "Where we can share best practices, where we can inspire one another just as we learn."

Fri, 2021-04-23 21:55 — mike kraft

Federal agencies lift temporary pause on use of Johnson & Johnson vaccine, saying benefits outweigh risks If the United States lifts the pause on the vaccine's use with a warning added to the label, the position would be similar to one taken by Europe’s drug regulator.
