Can the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA COVID Vaccines Affect Your Genetic Code? – SciTechDaily

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are set to become the mainstay of Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout as the year progresses, according to recently released government projections. From September, up to an average 1.3m doses of the Pfizer vaccine plus another 125,000 doses of the yet-to-be approved Moderna vaccine are expected to be available per week. These figures are set to rise from October, as use of the AstraZeneca vaccine drops. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines, which contain tiny fragments of the genetic material known as “messenger ribonucleic acid”. And if social media is anything to go by, some people are concerned these vaccines can affect their genetic code. Here’s why the chances of that happening are next to zero and some pointers...

These Countries Are Looking Ahead to Living With Covid-19 – The Wall Street Journal

A handful of countries, including the U.S., are leading the way toward a future where Covid-19 has faded into the background. Even as the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus is propelling new infections world-wide, these governments are hoping that their high vaccination rates will protect many of the most vulnerable to the disease, allowing a return to more normal life. It is a future where officials hope that they will be able to treat the coronavirus like influenza, which causes tens of thousands of deaths in the U.S. every year without prompting damaging economic lockdowns.

Minister says at-risk Israelis can get COVID booster; HMOs unaware of plan – The Times of Israel

The Health Ministry is evaluating whether to offer boosters to the whole population, added Horowitz. Horowitz said the allocation of the boosters is now in the hands of health providers, and given to those deemed at risk for various reasons, including lowered protection because they are transplant recipients.
