Vaccine

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?

Before we even got this segment rolling, Love Cowboy blasted into the studio immediately striking up a convo with Chrissy about her recent COVID vaccination shot. Love Cowboy: Heard you got the first shot Cavotta...how you feeling? Chrissy:  I was a little sore but I'm better now.  Thank you, I go for the second shot next week. Love Cowboy: I ain't had it yet but I can tell you My sister-in-law go

Added demand is creating some issues for New Yorkers trying to receive their coronavirus vaccinations.

It looks as if the flu season could be bad and health officials are recommending getting the flu shot sooner than later.

The state Department of Health has released a statement saying that a healthcare worker from the Queensbury-based Hudson Healthwaters Health Network has been diagnosed with measles and you could be at risk.

Hearing that people have the mumps kind of sounds like people have smallpox or the plague. Most people get vaccinated for MMR before entering school but for some reason, vaccinations or not, there's a mini epidemic locally.
