but we're monitoring it closely and that's why so many people were vaccinated. 500 were vaccinated before they left manston. what's the risk to the general public? the story that migrants with diptheria are being spread around the country without being screened. is that a problem? well, the risk is very low, partly because there's very high uptake of vaccination within the british public in the first place. but also we had a targeted action of vaccinations at manston and so far 500 people were vaccinated before they actually left manston. and it's something that uk hrsa are monitoring extremely closely and that's why they took the targeted action that they did. is the army being called in to help run the strikes and does that mean the negotiation negotiations are essentially over? well, no formal request has been made by the department of health to the military. but of course, we will look as part of our normal contingency plans and a range of options.

The Biden administration released its first set of drug policy priorities Thursday after overdose deaths hit record numbers during the pandemic. Office of National Drug Control Policy Acting Director Regina LaBelle discussed the office’s seven priorities, beginning with expanding access to drug treatment services.
“We’ll do this by expanding access to quality treatment and medications for opioid use disorder,” LaBelle said. “This includes removing unnecessary barriers to buprenorphine prescribing and contingency management interventions, modernizing our methadone treatment, expanding access to evidence based treatment options for people who are incarcerated.”
The American Rescue Plan Act set aside $4 billion to broaden access to behavioral services under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Health Resources and Services Administration.
