New Yorkers queue to get Covid-19 vaccine shot

Description

Dozens of New Yorkers in the Bronx wait in line for over an hour outside one of several newly-opened vaccination centers, with relaxed criteria to be eligible for a shot, as the United States attempts to speed up a sluggish rollout of the coronavirus vaccine. Over 75s, police officers, firefighters, teachers and transport workers became eligible for vaccinations after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo eased the state's strict guidelines following anger over discarded doses.

  • Israel Leads World In Getting Its Citizens Shot In The Arm With COVID-19 Vaccine

    In less than three months, Israel expects to have immunized all its citizens who are over 16 against the novel coronavirus. Business Insider reports achieving that goal would likely make Israel the world's first to immunize the vast majority of its population. Israel has far outpaced the rest of the world with its vaccination campaign. In fact, it has already administered the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to about one in five of its citizens. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced a deal with Pfizer to secure enough doses to immunize its adult population by the end of March.

  • Study Shows Simple Way To Reduce Deaths From Flu, Pneumonia

    UPI reports new research shows it's a very good idea to insist that healthcare workers get an annual flu shot. That's according to researchers from the University of Georgia, Montana State University and Monash University in Australia. They found that states with mandatory flu shots for hospital workers saw statewide reductions in deaths from influenza and pneumonia. They estimate that during the 2016-17 season alone, nearly 2,000 deaths were averted in the 15 U.S. states that had mandatory vaccination laws at that time. The findings suggest that health-worker vaccination laws may be a good way to protect the country's most vulnerable populations. The researchers say it's possible that similar benefits could also be seen with mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of hospital workers.

  • Survey: COVID-19 Persuades Many Americans To Get Seasonal Flu Jab

    During the 2019-20 flu season, 52% of people in the US were vaccinated against the seasonal influenza. And results of a new survey by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases are likely to have public health officials cheering. UPI reports that of the 1,000 people surveyed, 60% of people in the United States plan to be vaccinated against the flu this winter. Nearly half said they were concerned about the potential effects of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 on the seasonal bug.
