US investigators identify organic produce as possible E. coli outbreak source
Organic produce
could possibly be behind an E. Coli O157 outbreak that has affected children in Washington’s Seattle-King County area. Seven patients were reported between April 22 and May 1, says Seattle-King County Public Health.
Six of the children have been so sick they had to be admitted to hospitals. This includes two children who developed a potentially life-threatening type of kidney complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome. Both are recovering.
“Our investigation is ongoing. We have identified multiple types of fresh produce, mostly organic, in common among the majority of cases but cannot yet rule out other possibilities,” the health department reported in its outbreak update. “Public Health is conducting interviews with cases and their parents/guardians to help identify any common exposures. We are also working with the Washington State Department of Health to complete further testing, to help identify possible related cases in other counties, and to begin traceback of any products in common.”

LYNNWOOD, Wash. — The supply of COVID-19 vaccine is noticeably decreasing as the State of Washington just made another 1.5 million people eligible on Thursday. 
“We had believed, that the supply would have been increasing, at the time that eligibility was increasing. In fact, the supply has decreased,” said Dr. Jeff Duchin, health officer for Seattle-King County Public Health. “In fact this week, 'Vax Day' week, we have fewer doses than we had two weeks ago. And we expect next week we will have fewer doses than we had two weeks ago.”
