California and Washington open up vaccines to all adults Thursday.
It came as California Gov. Gavin Newsom urged all schools in the state to reopen, saying there are no health barriers to getting children back into classrooms and ending distance learning. His wishes, though, remain an expectation rather than a mandate because California’s decentralized education system lets the 1,200 school districts govern themselves.
Speaking Wednesday, he said: “Money is not an object now. It’s an excuse.”
Newsom has repeatedly said he sees no barriers to getting the state s 6.2 million public school students back into classrooms now, as California s COVID-19 infections continue to drop and more residents are being vaccinated.

Newsom wants to reopen public schools, but districts, teachers and parents resist
Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that all California schools should reopen when the new academic year begins next fall. His frustration was evident: “Money is not an object now. It’s an excuse, he said. “I want all schools to reopen. I’ve been crystal clear about that.”
Shigellosis is a nationally notifiable disease caused by
Shigella bacteria. There are an estimated 450,000 cases of shigellosis in the United States each year. Some common symptoms of shigellosis are diarrhea (that is sometimes bloody), fever, stomach pain, and feeling the need to pass stool (poop) even when the bowels are empty. Most people recover from shigellosis without treatment. But some people need antibiotics to treat or prevent severe illness and to shorten the duration of symptoms.

Shigella are antibiotic resistant, which means they developed the ability to defeat the antibiotics designed to kill or stop their growth, and the infection may not be cured by that antibiotic. Compared with

After months of waiting, any Californian 16 or older is eligible to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
On Tuesday, San Francisco jumped the gun and announced that all residents aged 16 and over are now eligible.
There are varying ways to secure an appointment including MyTurn, the vaccine-booking site run by the California Department of Health but there are also a handful of drop-in sites in San Francisco where all you need (theoretically) to do, if eligible, is walk in and roll up your sleeve.
