White House rolls out plan to quickly immunize kids age 5 to 11
against Covid
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/
The White House on Wednesday outlined its plan to distribute doses
of Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine to kids ages 5 to 11 as
soon as it’s authorized by U.S. drug regulators.
The Biden administration said it’s procured enough vaccine to
inoculate all 28 million 5- to 11-year-olds in the U.S., and will
distribute it in smaller dosing and with smaller needles to make it
easier for pediatricians and pharmacists to administer to kids.

A growing number of first responders in the U.S. are willing to
lose their jobs by not complying with COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
They won't get the shot, even though COVID-19 is now the leading
cause of death for officers.
Booster shots could soon be recommended for people as young as 40,

Booster protection could soon expand to a much broader population,
as a source says the US government likely will soon recommend
additional doses to people as young as 40 who received a Moderna or
Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
Punishments start for troops who refuse vaccines

Military service members are starting to face consequences for
refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Those punishments
range from a reprimand to, in the Navy’s case, removal from the
armed forces and a loss of benefits.
