Vaccine

The incurable virus is spreading north, according to the CDC.

The Centers for Disease Control and New York State health officials are urging vaccination after wastewater samples tested positive for polio in Rockland County

Don't put your window fan away just yet. You might need it for Christmas. On Friday the CDC issued their advice for "safer ways to celebrate the holidays"

There is another initiative to get New Yorkers vaccinated. This time officials are aiming at football fans. It's called "Vax and Win". Those who get vaccinated have a chance to win some cool NFL gear and tickets from their favorite New York teams. (I know there is only one true New York team that plays in New York-the Buffalo Bills, but they are lumping in the New York Jets and the New York Giants.)

COVID-19 is no joke. Both my fiancee and I had it and we are both completely vaccinated. I am disappointed that COVID and the vaccine have become a political statement and not a plight to keep everyone as healthy as possible. Now there is a vaccine that should be available for children ages 5 to 11 by Thanksgiving. Both Ryan's mom and I aren't 100% sure about it just yet.

There are some people who are trying to take the easy route. They don’t want to be vaccinated so they are using fake COVID-19 vaccination cards, and the government is cracking down.

The White House announced Friday that Dr. Anthony Fauci said he expects Americans who received the one-dose J&J vaccine against COVID-19 also will be recommended for a booster shot.

COVID-19 vaccines have been around for more than seven months and we still haven’t reached herd immunity. US health officials are still struggling to convince the vaccine-hesitant population to take the shots.

The incentives for people to get the COVID-19 vaccine are getting bigger. Just recently the Governor offered the "Vax and Scratch". For one week those who received a vaccine got a voucher to get a scratch-off that could be worth up to five million dollars. Now the goal is to get as many twelve to seventeen-year-olds vaccinated in New York state. The incentive is free college scholarships.

New York's Vax & Scratch vaccine incentive program extended for Albany! Here is your shot at $5 million.

We have had three options for a vaccine here in the U.S. for a couple weeks now. But as of today, those options are back to two.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that I can't wait for things to get back to some sort of normalcy. Now that more people are getting vaccinated, we are getting closer. I received my second COVID-19 vaccine shot two weeks ago so that means I am completely vaccinated. But what does that exactly mean. What can I do now?
