MEMPHIS, Tenn. St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital will require its employees to get vaccinated for COVID-19 by Sept. 9.

Employees who are not vaccinated and do not have an exemption for religious or medical reasons will be placed on two weeks unpaid leave, according to a letter sent to employees by Dr. James R. Downing, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The letter states that vaccinations are available on the St. Jude campus, as well as in the community. Vaccination provides more than 90% protection, and the vaccines have been shown to be effective against the Delta variant and others, the letter states.

A portion of the letter follows below:

I understand that some of you have questions and concerns about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and may be reluctant to do so for various reasons. At St. Jude, we have a team of world-renowned researchers and clinicians who are happy to speak with anyone who is hesitant about receiving the vaccine.

As our mission states and as our St. Jude core values echo, we must ensure that advancing treatment for children with catastrophic diseases is at the center of everything we do. This means providing our patients and their families with the safest treatment environment possible.

To ensure we meet that mandate, we are requiring that all St. Jude employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Thursday, September 9.

We reached this decision after much research, analysis and discussion. It is the right thing to keep our campus safe. Our duty to our patients frames everything we do. This is the logical next step to ensure we stay one step ahead of the virus.

St. Jude employs more than 3,600 people, according to the nonprofits website.

Singer and actress Olivia Rodrigo visited the White House on Wednesday to meet President Biden and chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci to record videos about the importance of young people getting vaccinated.

While the administration has had success vaccinating older Americans, young adults have shown less urgency to get the shots. The videos will be featured on Rodrigos and White House social media.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) The push to get more needles in arms continues in the state of Michigan as thousands of doses are at risk of expiration.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is reporting that 262,000 doses of Johnson & Johnson are expiring in the next four weeks. Pfizer doses start expiring in September and Moderna doses start expiring a month later in October.

State health officials told News 8 they are working with the CDC to redistribute vaccines to other states that may be in need.

The state recently shipped some doses of the J&J vaccines to Minnesota.

On a county level, health departments are working to distribute vaccines anyway they can to avoid wasting them.

We do have a lot in stock that will expire August 31, said Toni Bulthuis, immunization team supervisor of the Ottawa County Department of Public Health. I have about 6,800 in stock right now of Pfizer.

While that number likely wont remain the same by the end of August, that still leaves thousands unused. It also leaves health departments asking the question: Where do the vaccines go once deemed unusable?

Bulthuis says they currently dont have guidance from MDHHS.

Right now, we are being told that they are going to try and redistribute these vaccines. So, if pharmacies need them, doctors offices need them, they will come to us first so that we can use the vaccines in our freezers first, said Bulthuis.

Once the vaccines do expire, they are immediately taken out of use.

In addition to the 6,800 Pfizer vaccines, Bulthuis tells News 8 around 600 J&J and 600 Moderna vaccines in Ottawa County are at risk of expiration in the coming months if not used.

Following are the COVID-19 vaccine rates for the Princeton region. These statistics represent the percentage of residents in each municipality who have received the complete course of a vaccine and not just the first dose. The information was taken from the states COVID dashboard on Wednesday afternoon. We have listed NA for not available for the 65 and over group in some municipalities because the dashboard lists a percentage above 100 percent in those cases.

Cranbury, Hightstown, and Pennington have the highest percentage of vaccinated residents, with almost 80 percent of residents of all ages being fully vaccinated. Trenton has the lowest percentage of fully vaccinated residents at just 36 percent.

In Princeton, 68 percent of residents are fully vaccinated, and 75 percent of residents have received at least one vaccine dose.

Updated COVID-19 vaccination rates for the Princeton region - - Planet Princeton

Pfizer is about to seek U.S. authorization for a third dose of its COVID-19 vaccine, saying Thursday that another shot within 12 months could dramatically boost immunity and maybe help ward off the latest worrisome coronavirus mutant.Research from multiple countries shows the Pfizer shot and other widely used COVID-19 vaccines offer strong protection against the highly contagious delta variant, which is spreading rapidly around the world and now accounts for most new U.S. infections. Two doses of most vaccines are critical to develop high levels of virus-fighting antibodies against all versions of the coronavirus, not just the delta variant -- and most of the world still is desperate to get those initial protective doses as the pandemic continues to rage.But antibodies naturally wane over time, so studies also are underway to tell if and when boosters might be needed. On Thursday, Pfizer's Dr. Mikael Dolsten told The Associated Press that early data from the company's booster study suggests people's antibody levels jump five- to 10-fold after a third dose, compared to their second dose months earlier. In August, Pfizer plans to ask the Food and Drug Administration for emergency authorization of a third dose, he said.Why might that matter for fighting the delta variant? Dolsten pointed to data from Britain and Israel showing the Pfizer vaccine "neutralizes the delta variant very well." The assumption, he said, is that when antibodies drop low enough, the delta virus eventually could cause a mild infection before the immune system kicks back in.But FDA authorization would be just a first step it wouldn't automatically mean Americans get offered boosters, cautioned Dr. William Schaffner, a vaccine expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Public health authorities would have to decide if they're really needed, especially since millions of people have no protection."The vaccines were designed to keep us out of the hospital" and continue to do so despite the more contagious delta variant, he said. Giving another dose would be "a huge effort while we are at the moment striving to get people the first dose."Hours after Pfizer's announcement, U.S. health officials issued a statement saying fully vaccinated Americans don't need a booster yet.U.S. health agencies "are engaged in a science-based, rigorous process to consider whether or when a booster might be necessary," the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a joint statement. That work will include data from the drug companies, "but does not rely on those data exclusively," and any decision on booster shots would happen only when "the science demonstrates that they are needed," the agencies said. Currently only about 48% of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated and some parts of the country have far lower immunization rates, places where the delta variant is surging. On Thursday, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, said that's leading to "two truths" highly immunized swaths of America are getting back to normal while hospitalizations are rising in other places."This rapid rise is troubling," she said: A few weeks ago the delta variant accounted for just over a quarter of new U.S. cases, but it now accounts for just over 50% and in some places, such as parts of the Midwest, as much as 80%.Also Thursday, researchers from France's Pasteur Institute reported new evidence that full vaccination is critical. In laboratory tests, blood from several dozen people given their first dose of the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines "barely inhibited" the delta variant, the team reported in the journal Nature. But weeks after getting their second dose, nearly all had what researchers deemed an immune boost strong enough to neutralize the delta variant even if it was a little less potent than against earlier versions of the virus.The French researchers also tested unvaccinated people who had survived a bout of the coronavirus, and found their antibodies were four-fold less potent against the new mutant. But a single vaccine dose dramatically boosted their antibody levels sparking cross-protection against the delta variant and two other mutants, the study found. That supports public health recommendations that COVID-19 survivors get vaccinated rather than relying on natural immunity.The lab experiments add to real-world data that the delta variant's mutations aren't evading the vaccines most widely used in Western countries, but underscore that it's crucial to get more of the world immunized before the virus evolves even more.Researchers in Britain found two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, for example, are 96% protective against hospitalization with the delta variant and 88% effective against symptomatic infection. That finding was echoed last weekend by Canadian researchers, while a report from Israel suggested protection against mild delta infection may have dipped lower, to 64%.Whether the fully vaccinated still need to wear masks in places where the delta variant is surging is a growing question. In the U.S., the CDC maintains that fully vaccinated people don't need to. Even before the delta variant came along, the vaccines weren't perfect, but the best evidence suggests that if vaccinated people nonetheless get the coronavirus, they'll have much milder cases."Let me emphasize, if you were vaccinated, you have a very high degree of protection," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government's top infectious disease expert, said Thursday. In the U.S., case rates have been rising for weeks and the rate of hospitalizations has started to tick up, rising 7% from the previous seven-day average, Walensky told reporters Thursday. However, deaths remain down on average, which some experts believe is at least partly due to high vaccination rates in people 65 and older who are among the most susceptible to severe disease.___Associated Press writer Mike Stobbe contributed to this story.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Department of Science Education.

The following message with updates related to vaccination procedures for faculty and professional staff was sent to the University community:

Summary:

Dear Colleagues,

As we look forward to welcoming our students and colleagues back on campus in the fall, we want to provide you with some additional guidance concerning vaccination against COVID-19. As announced in President Fry'scommunicationon June 10, Drexel University is requiring all current faculty and professional staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before their return to campus, no later thanAugust 1, 2021,in order to ensure the safety of our community.

We know that safe and effective vaccination has created a path for our campus community to return to normalcy at our University. Over the past few months, thousands of Drexel students, faculty and professional staff have already been fully vaccinated, taking advantage of the many clinics held on campus or the increased availability of vaccine at countless area locations. This communication conveys further guidance concerning the COVID-19 immunization requirement for Drexel faculty and professional staff, as outlined in more detail in the newCOVID-19 Vaccination Policy.

Who Must Be Vaccinated?All faculty and professional staff members are required to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. This requirement involves all individuals in a paid status, including adjunct, casual/per-diem and temporary employees. New employees will receive information regarding the vaccination requirement upon offer of employment.

COVID-19 Immunization Compliance DeadlinesAs previously communicated, all employees are expected to be fully vaccinated before August 1, 2021, which means at least 14 days must have passed since your final dose of vaccine by Aug. 1.

Unvaccinated persons remain at significant risk of serious illness with COVID-19. Those who are granted an exemption, have not received the COVID-19 vaccine, or do not provide required proof of vaccination will be required to comply with the University's health and safety protocols, which include, but are not limited to, daily symptom check-ins via the Drexel Health Checker App, weekly COVID screening tests and wearing masks while in Drexel owned or leased facilities. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination, as outlined in the policy.

Vaccine ExemptionsYou may apply for an exemption through theCOVID-19 Vaccine Exemption Process. Exemption requests may be granted for medical or religious purposes with approved documentation. Those who do not provide the University with their vaccine information must complete the COVID-19 Vaccine Exemption Process. All who receive an exemption will be enrolled in a mandatory weekly COVID-19 screening program and required to follow additional guidance for your protection, which will be provided at the time exemption is granted.

Providing Proof of VaccinationTo be exempt from weekly testing and additional safety measures at Drexel, it's crucial that you provide proof of vaccination in a timely manner. To do so, you should upload your information along with a picture of your vaccine card to theDrexel Health CheckerApp. If you have yet to download the app, now is the time. Always use your Drexel email to register in the app in the format ofabc12@drexel.eduand avoid using any other email addresses. If you cannot provide your vaccine information via the Health Checker App, please visit Human Resources to provide your vaccine card to complete this process.

On theDrexel Health CheckerApp, after completing your daily check-in, click "More" in the bottom right corner. Select "Vaccine Records". Choose the vaccine type from the drop-down menu, enter the date of your dose and lot number, and then upload a photo of your record. Click "Save." If you receive a two-dose vaccine, you will need to record your first dose before you can add your final dose.The dates you enter must match the dates on the vaccine card.

If you have any questions about the exemption process or the COVID-19 Vaccine Policy, please contact yourHR Business Partner.

Sincerely,

Megan Weyler,Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer

Marines who go maskless on military installations must be prepared to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination at any time while those found to have lied about their vaccination status for whatever reason may face discipline, according to a recently released Marine Corps message.

Service members and civilian employees who misrepresent their vaccination status may be subject to appropriate adverse administrative or punitive actions, the MARADMIN, released Friday, reads.

The MARADMIN provides clarification to the Department of Defense mask policy released in early May, which allows service members who are fully vaccinated to ditch the mask in almost every circumstance.

Marines who are not fully vaccinated must wear their mask continuously on military installations unless they are alone, eating, drinking, when the mask is required to be lowered for identification, when it is necessary to accommodate a disability or while conducting physical training.

Under the Marine Corps policy, unmasked Marines must be prepared at any time to provide a vaccination card or other health records to prove they are fully vaccinated and authorized to go without a mask.

Supervisors may not inquire about or verify the vaccination status of civilian employees unless there is a reasonable basis to believe the unmasked employee has not been fully vaccinated, based on reliable evidence such as firsthand knowledge of voluntary employee statements, the MARADMIN said.

As of June 30, the Marine Corps was by far the least vaccinated branch in the military, with only 58 percent of Marines vaccinated for COVID-19. Thats far behind the Navy, which leads the Defense Department with a vaccination rate of 77 percent.

Fridays MARADMIN sets the minimum mask policy for the entire Marine Corps, though individual commanders are allowed to enforce a more restrictive mask policy, according to the MARADMIN.

Marines stationed or deployed overseas must also follow the local laws regarding mask wearing if it is more restrictive than the MARADMIN.

The current Marine Corps policy on the use of masks is limited to Department of Defense facilities, Capt. Andrew Wood, Headquarters Marine Corps spokesman, told Marine Corps Times in an email.

It's time to mandate COVID-19 vaccines and vaccine passports, according to historian Julian Zelizer. In a column for CNN Opinion, he argues there is a long history of the U.S. requiring Americans to participate in programs aimed at the common good.

Zelizer, professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, makes his case to host Don Gonyea.

The COVID-19 Vaccine And The Common Good | Here & Now - Here And Now

July 12, 2021 -- Now that the COVID-19 vaccines are available for children ages 12 and older, some divorced parents are facing a challenge: What to do when one parent wants the kids to get the COVID-19 vaccine and the other parent doesnt.

This is the situation facing Michelle Roy-Augustin*, a divorced mom of two sons, ages 12 and 10, who lives in Los Angeles. While her ex-wife wants their 12-year-old-son to get vaccinated right away, Roy-Augustin would rather wait, as some teenagers, albeit rarely, have had heart inflammation after their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, according to the CDC.

Id prefer to wait for there to be a larger sample size of kids getting the vaccine to see if there any other problems, says Roy-Augustin. She says that she and her ex-wife are vaccinated and that the two have never disagreed about any of the other vaccinations their sons have received throughout their childhood.

This is the first time weve disagreed about something like this. Weve been remarkably on the same page with most of our co-parenting decisions -- until now.

Ask divorce attorneys, and theyll tell you that theyve litigated plenty of vaccine issues between ex-spouses lately. But the law is clear: Generally speaking, if the parents arent divorced or living under an order, either parent can give consent for a child to be vaccinated, says Jennifer S. Hargrave, a divorce attorney at Hargrave Family Law in Dallas.

However, once the parents separate and are living under a parenting order [such as a divorce decree], the order will govern which parent has the rights to decide on a childs medical care, including invasive medical procedures such as vaccines, since these puncture the skin, she says.

Depending on the agreement, the right to consent to this sort of procedure requires both parents to agree. In other words, if one parent does not agree to it, then the other parent can stop the child from getting the vaccine, Hargrave says.

The other parent can ask the court to use their judgment to step in and determine whether the child should have the vaccine, she says.

For Roy-Augustin, the to-vaccine-or-not negotiation with her ex-spouse remains ongoing -- and stressful.

I text my ex studies about the side effects of the vaccine, but I doubt she reads them, she says. My ex operates in a state of constant health anxiety. I think shes assuming the schools will mandate the vaccine and then Ill have no choice.

Until the COVID-19 vaccine becomes mandatory -- if that happens, that is -- neither parent should unilaterally sign off on a childs vaccine without the others consent, says Chantelle A. Porter, a family law attorney at A. Traub & Associates in Lombard, IL.

Its best to inform the other parent if you have the sole decision-making responsibility or get consent from your ex-spouse if you have joint decision-making, she says.

If you still cant come to a resolution and you remain in two separate vaccine camps, with neither party even coming close to a concession, you might consider sitting down with your childs pediatrician or a mediator.

I believe it helps for both parents to sit down and have a conversation with an expert about the pros and cons of the vaccine, Porter says. Its also a neutral place where you can raise any concerns you might have.

As for Roy-Augustin, shes hoping to decide by the fall.

"We now have millions of kids getting their second shot, she says. If there arent any problems by October, then I will consider it -- but maybe the J&J and not two shots?

If you and your spouse just cant decide whether or not to have your child vaccinated against COVID-19, you should find a way to discuss this maturely, because this issue isnt going to disappear overnight, says Elizabeth Cohen, PhD, a clinical psychologist in private practice in New York City and author of Light on the Other Side of Divorce.

Below, Cohen, also the self-described Divorce Doctor, suggests three ways to best communicate about this:

1: Separate your feelings for your ex from your co-parenting responsibilities

In fact, your goal should be to rethink the entire way youre talking to your ex, Cohen says. Ask yourself: If I was negotiating with a business partner, how would I approach this situation? she suggests. Yes, your ex is someone you have likely had a long history of not feeling heard. And, yes, this is playing into your conversations with your ex, but you have to put those feelings aside for the sake of resolving this.

2: Stay factual

Avoid saying things like, You always or You never cared about the kids medical stuff before, why do you care now? Cohen suggests.

Instead, be very clear about why you feel like this is the right decision, she says. Again, explain it as if you were talking to a neutral person and take any emotional language out of the discussion.

3: Respect your exs point of view

It can be very challenging, but its very important to come from a place of respect for the other persons opinion, Cohen says.

Remember, your ex feels just as strongly about this as you do, she says. Ask him or her to explain how they came to their decision. Remember: Your underlying anger and resentment towards this person has nothing to do with whether your child should get the vaccine -- or not.
