The CDC and FDA are investigating a particular lot of Moderna’s vaccine after California paused distribution after fewer than 10 recipients at a clinic in San Diego experienced severe allergic reactions and required medical attention within 24 hours of being vaccinated. The lot in question included more than 330,000 doses distributed to 287 providers statewide.
They get released, but are they better? A study shows nearly a third of people discharged from hospitals in England after being treated for Covid-19 were readmitted within five months – and almost one in eight died. The study also found a higher risk of problems developing in a range of organs after hospital discharge in those under 70 and ethnic minorities.
The CDC is making it mandatory starting January 26 that all air travelers entering the US have proof of a negative test taken within three days of their flight. The burden will be placed on airlines to verify passengers’ test results.
An independent panel has said Chinese officials could have applied public health measures more forcefully a year ago to curb Covid-19 and criticized the World Health Organization for delays in declaring an international emergency. The experts doing the review called for reforms to the World Health Organization.
