Beginning Thursday, everyone 16 and older can register for a COVID-19 vaccine appointment in Connecticut. Gov. Ned Lamont said the state expects to see 100,000 new appointments filled by the end of the day.
PENDLETON â Umatilla County Public Health announced on Wednesday, March 31, that Oregon Health Authority gave the county approval to start vaccinating people in Phase 1B Group 7 effective immediately. Morrow County was also among the counties given approval to move ahead.
The phase includes all essential frontline workers as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, everyone over the age of 16 with underlying condition considered at higher risk from COVID-19, and people in multigenerational households.
The CDCâs list of frontline workers includes employees whose work requires regular contact with the public or co-workers for a prolonged period of time or within 6 feet, who are working in essential industries, such as food service, energy, construction, news media, manufacturing, law and banking.

Even pre-pandemic, the demand for state park campsites outstripped supply. But this year, with travel still being actively discouraged by California’s Department of Public Health and the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the search for reservations in the most sought-after parks is more challenging than ever.
A recent search for sites in one of my favorite campgrounds, New Brighton State Beach near Capitola, south of Santa Cruz, returned almost no two-day reservations between now and September. Even planning six months ahead wasn t enough to secure a site.
