Department of Defense targets May 1 for full vaccine availability

Department of Defense targets May 1 for full vaccine availability By Department of Defense News WASHINGTON, D.C. Defense Department officials have said the department will be ready to offer Covid-19 vaccinations to all eligible beneficiaries by May 1, in keeping with a White House announcement that on that date, all Americans will be able to get vaccinated if they want to. “We are committed to contributing to the president achieving his goal of 200 million shots in 100 days,” said Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Dr. Terry Adirim during a briefing March 26 at the Pentagon. Army Lt. Gen. Ronald J. Place, director of the Defense Health Agency said that depending on the rate at which the Department of Defense can get vaccines, and the uptake rate – that’s the number of personnel who step forward to get vaccinated – it’s possible that by early summer, every person in the Department of Defense could be vaccinated.

COVID-19 hospitalizations dip in Texas, but variants on horizon

More hospital beds are freeing up in Austin and around the state as COVID-19 cases dip, but epidemiologists and medical authorities warn the disease could pick up steam again. Slightly fewer than 11,000 Texans were being treated for the coronavirus in Texas hospitals, according to Tuesday data, the most recent available, a 23.9% drop since a high of 14,218 on Jan. 11. There are now fewer Texas COVID-19 patients than during the summer peak. We’re in a downward cycle with hospitalizations now, University of Texas System Executive Vice Chancellor of Health Affairs Dr. John Zerwas, a medical adviser to Gov. Greg Abbott, told the American-Statesman.
