NEW ORLEANS Since late March, everyone 16-years-and-older in Louisiana has been eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. But to date, fewer than 11,000 16- and 17-year-olds in Louisiana have been vaccinated.

Attending the University of Alabama is a proud family tradition for many who follow in the footsteps of generations of UA alumni who came before them.
In the case of Carlisle Washburne, an Honors College student from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, majoring in biology with a double minor in psychology and global and cultural perspectives, her walk across the stage May 1 in Coleman Coliseum is the continuation of a legacy that started in 1834.

Adults should continue undergoing routine hypertension screening, according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), which specified office blood pressure (BP) measurements for initial screening.
It is reasonable for adults 40 years and older and those at increased risk for hypertension to undergo screening every year. Young people not at risk, or those with a prior normal BP reading, may get screened every few years instead, said Alex Krist, MD, MPH, of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and colleagues of the task force.
Thus, the USPSTF reaffirms its 2015 grade A recommendation for hypertension screening citing its potential to reduce cardiovascular events, with few major harms while clarifying that this should be performed with office readings, leaving measurements outside the clinical setting (i.e., ambulatory BP monitoring [ABPM] or home BP measurement [HBPM]) for diagnostic confirmation before starting treatment.
