Vaccine Mandates? Flu Shots? Clinics. Latest info HERE:

Mandates

A narrow majority of Americans are in favor of vaccine mandates for work, school, and large sporting events, according to a new poll.
The CNN/SSRS poll found the public split 51% to 49% on the subject of vaccine requirements overall.   But percentages were slightly higher in certain situations: 54% supported work requirements while 55% supported them for schools or large gatherings like concerts or sporting events.  The numbers also suggest that support for vaccine mandates is growing – percentages were up 6-8 points from a similar poll conducted in April.

Flu Shots

As many children return to in-person learning and adults end a period of working from home, experts are concerned about the upcoming flu season and its implications for hospitals that are already pushed to the limits of capacity due to the COVID-19 delta variant.  Flu season usually runs from October to May, with experts suggesting the best time to get vaccinated is from early September to the end of October, although some major retail pharmacies have already begun advertising this year’s supply.
