    Sunday just in: +774K doses reported administered, including 520K newly vaccinated. Now 71% of adults with at least one dose. Getting a first dose now will mean full protection by the start of Fall. Let's continue the upward trend in vaccinations this week! 🇺🇸

    Yes, kids are at lower risk of severe illness from COVID, but “lower” does not mean “ZERO.” Mitigation measures—including masks, vaccine mandates for eligible kids and staff, frequent testing, limitation on class sizes, & ventilation—must be in place for schools to open safely.

    On MTP, Fauci says data point toward declining vaccine protection over time. He signals that booster approval is a question of when. “Sooner or later you're going to see an attenuation to the point where we're going to have to give an additional boost.”

    Actually I said KN95 here — like the Utah Governor has just made available to school districts that choose to use them. Quality of mask does matter and KN95s can be worn more comfortably than an N95 masks, while still affording more protection than a typical procedure mask.
