boosters for adults :: Article Creator COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters Approved For All Adults, Will Start Immediately In Minnesota COVID-19 vaccine boosters for all adults got the green light from federal regulators Friday as part of an effort to slow the spread of the highly contagious delta variant. The expansion will take effect immediately in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said in a statement. "Cases are rising, community spread is high, and Minnesotans are moving indoors for the winter as the weather gets colder and the holidays approach," Walz said.

Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and national task force members have said the country should focus on completing adult population vaccination rather than booster doses.
Senior scientist and head of Pune's ICMR epidemiology and communicable diseases division, Dr Samiran Panda, told TOI on Saturday that even as there are discussions on booster doses, completion of schedule of the two doses of currently administered intramuscular injection preparation of Covid vaccines under the ongoing immunisation programme will yield the necessary protection against advancement of infection or severe form of the disease that may require hospitalization.
"The priority should be to complete both doses for eligible adults first and then the plan for children can be firmed up through critical analysis of age group and comorbidities,''said Dr Panda. With the country having touched 1 billion vaccine doses on Thursday, he said the way forward was to continue scaling up vaccination and following Covid protocol.
The ICMR scientist said that while vaccines are disease modifying vaccines and do not offer protection against acquisition of infection, use of a mask to prevent occurrence of infection was a must for the vaccinated and unvaccinated. He said a combination of prevention against disease severity and acquisition of infection with the help of vaccines and correct as well as consistent use of masks should be the programme emphasis now. "From a public health perspective this is the need of the hour and the priority should be to complete both doses for eligible adults first," he stressed.
He said besides this planning and programmatic steps as pertinent to children and vaccination can be firmed up through critical analysis, such as which age group to cover first, he said ruling out boosters
Member of the national task force and National Task Advisory Group on Immunisation in India (NTAGI) Covid task force chairman Dr N K Arora told TOI the country should continue to focus on completing adult population vaccination immediately followed by vaccination of children.

Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals.
