Show Caption Hide Caption If you had COVID and were double vaccinated you may not need a booster Research suggests COVID infection plus vaccination provides the strongest protection against a wide range of variants, possibly for a long time. Just The FAQs, USA TODAY Regulatory approval of Moderna’s emergency use authorization request for its vaccine for kids 12 to 17 years of age has been delayed until at least January, the company announced Sunday. The Massachusetts-based pharmaceutical firm said in a statement that the Food and Drug Administration blamed the delay on an ongoing evaluation of recent international analyses of the risk of myocarditis – inflammation of the heart – after vaccination. Moderna is working closely with the FDA and “is grateful to the FDA for their diligence,” the statement said. An increased risk of myocarditis from the vaccines has been discovered, particularly in young men following the second dose. The U.S. Centers for Disea...

Just a few days later, Boris Johnson gave a speech at the Conservative Party Conference alluding to his anti-obesity campaign by striking a personal chord: “I had a very common underlying condition: My friends, I was too fat.” The prime minister also mentioned he’d since lost 26 pounds. He went on to outline a vision for the future of Britain that included a healthier population, with more biking and walking. Stateside, the U.S. government was still not raising the alarm about the link between rampant metabolic disease and greater risk. It was never part of White House messaging on the virus and the suite of policies needed to respond to the crisis — something that didn’t change when President Joe Biden took the reins, either. “It’s not central to the discussion at all,” said Dan Glickman, who served as agriculture secretary during the Clinton administration and is now a senior fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center. “It’s a gigantic gap in the discussion about how health care re...

(WCBI)- 5K runs are usually for people that enjoy distance running and friendly competition, but Hill’s Pet Nutrition hosted their annual race in Starkville, for pets too. “To donate to the school’s fostering program Homeward Bound all the proceeds go to them and we just put this on every year to raise them some money and help out all the dogs and cats that they ship up north to get better homes,” said coordinator Emily Haag. Haag said last year(2020), roughly 80 people signed up for the event, but this year (2021); over 160 people signed up making it the largest turnout they’ve ever seen. “I was not sure what our turnout was going to be this year.

Tables were set up for owners to get ...

Credit… David Dee Delgado/Getty Images New York City’s sweeping effort to compel most city employees to receive the coronavirus vaccine before Monday appears to have rapidly boosted inoculation rates and pressured thousands of police officers, firefighters and other government workers who had long held out to get the shot. The vaccination rate among workers affected by the city’s mandate rose to 83 percent at the end of Friday, from 71 percent on Oct. 19, the day before the requirement was announced, according to city data. Some individual agencies reported jumps in vaccination rates of nearly 10 percentage points between Thursday and Friday alone. The last-minute rush in the nation’s largest municipal work force mirrored similar patterns involving other vaccine mandates. Thousands of health car...
