Dentists in California may administer COVID-19 vaccines only on patients who are 16 years old and above.

It would seem that dentists in California will be taking on fresh responsibilities amid the coronavirus pandemic. They have now been authorised to handle COVID-19 vaccinations as well.
The California Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) recently gave its approval on a public health emergency waiver, which gave dental practitioners the authority to administer vaccines to patients. The age bracket of those who can receive a shot from a dentist was 16 and above.

Nothing about this lockdown makes any sense to many of us
Nothing about the governor’s lockdown makes sense.
My daughter-in-law has been the most careful of anyone I know in fact she and my son have purposely avoided family celebrations for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She has stayed away from stores, preferring for home deliveries. Who gets COVID-19? She does. My son, who is her husband, doesn’t get it.
All of the people I know who have tested positive for COVID-19, all are fine.
I am aware of some recent deaths in Ceres and I don’t make light of their COVID related deaths. But if the most careful of people are getting it while quarantining themselves then why are we shutting down our country and destroying the economic livelihood of millions of people who have to feed their families?

Many companies that issue gift cards such as retailers, restaurants, movie theaters, gyms and spas have been hard hit by pandemic shutdowns and are closing in large numbers. The number of retailers filing for bankruptcy in 2020 was the highest since 2009, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
When companies go bankrupt, their gift cards can become worthless. With smaller companies, it can happen overnight. With larger companies, consumers often have a period of time to use their gift cards, but not always.
