NFL modifies Covid-19 protocols for vaccinated team personnel
From CNN s Jacob Lev
National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell has modified the league s Covid-19 protocols due to the reduced risk of infection for vaccinated players.
Goodell outlined the amended protocols in a memo sent to all NFL teams on Friday. A source provided a copy of the memo to CNN.
The NFL said that fully vaccinated team personnel will only be tested for Covid-19 once a week instead of daily tests. Last season, every personnel member was tested for the virus daily.
The memo also says that all fully vaccinated players and staff members will not need to quarantine if they come in close contact with an infected person.

Reports of unusual blood clots in the setting of low platelets associated with COVID-19 vaccines have brought attention to these tiny blood cells tasked with preventing humans from fatally bleeding.
The European Medicines Agency has said that, as of April 20, there have been 287 reports of rare blood clots with low platelets after administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine, eight with Johnson & Johnson, 25 with Pfizer, and five with Moderna. The clots are notable because many have occurred in unusual and deadly locations in the veins that drain the brain (known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis) and the abdomen (known as splanchnic vein thrombosis).

The pause is lifted, and Johnson & Johnson s COVID-19 vaccine is once again recommended for adults, according to the CDC s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
In a 10-4 vote, with one abstention, ACIP said in updated interim guidance that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is recommended under FDA emergency use authorization (EUA) for all adults.
They ultimately decided that including a separate warning on the vaccine, as well as in an FDA EUA fact sheet and materials on the CDC website, was sufficient. The committee agreed that any further qualifiers would be too cumbersome for local jurisdictions to implement and might contribute to vaccine hesitancy.
