WEEKLY/SEMANAL - KANSAS CITY, MO

The Unified Government of Kansas City, KS, has approved an extension of its mask mandate through Nov. 18. The government voted for the extension on Sept. 9, the same day that U.S. President Joe Biden addressed the nation on new federal vaccine requirements.

Men’s Health Network (MHN) applauds the recommendations from CDC and NIH announced on August 18, 2021 to make COVID-19 booster vaccinations available for those who are at higher risk of COVID-19 infections, including nursing home residents, health-care providers, and those over 65 years of age. These were the majority of those to first get vaccinated in December and January. MHN also urges the FDA to move with all due urgency to not only approve booster vaccinations but also grant full marketing approval to the three COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the US.
