NEW YORK — An influential scientific panel on Tuesday voted to recommend to the CDC that when a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, both front line health care workers and residents in long-term care facilities should be prioritized first. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 14-1 in favor of adopting the following recommendation: When a COVID-19 vaccine is authorized by FDA and recommended by ACIP, vaccination in the initial phase of the COVID-19 vaccination program (Phase 1a) should be offered to both 1) health care personnel and 2) residents of long-term care facilities.Watch the meeting live here."About one (American) dies every minute from COVID-19. During this ACIP meeting, about 120 people will die," Dr. Beth Bell said during initial remarks at the beginning of the virtual meeting Tuesday.The ACIP met Tuesday afternoon in an open-to-the-public, virtual meeting to vote on the proposal that gives priority to health care workers and patients in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The two groups together represent around 23 million Americans out of a population of about 330 million; about 21 million in health care professions and less than 3 million adults living in long-term care facilities.Current estimates project around 40 million doses combined available by the end of 2020. And each vaccine product requires two doses.The CDC said Tuesday they expect 5-to-10 million doses available each week after a vaccine is authorized by the FDA. They say these numbers necessitate the need for sub-group prioritizing, since not all health care workers or long-term care facilities can be vaccinated at once. Another consideration the panel discussed is not having an entire unit or group get vaccinated at once; if there are side effects like fatigue or other symptoms that necessitates taking a day or two off, this could leave a unit critically short-staffed. During Tuesday's presentation, Dr. Kathleen Dooling talked about statistics from COVID-19 patients in the US and how it lead to health care workers and long-term facility staff and patients to be at the top of the vaccine list. Long-term care facilities are responsible for six percent of COVID-19 cases and 40 percent of COVID-19 deaths in this country, she said. Later this month, the Food and Drug Administration will consider approval of two vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna. The panel meeting Tuesday said they hope to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines as more information is released by the FDA.Dr. Dooling said one of the questions they hope to ask about the Phase 3 trial data of both Pfizer and Moderna is how effective one dose of the vaccine has shown to be. They will also be taking a deeper look at the age groups of those included in the trial, and the efficacy of the vaccines on older people. Some of the comments during the public comment section referenced the lack of transparency released at this time about the vaccines and the panel trying to make vaccination decisions without it. However, the panel, while voting, expressed faith in the FDA's process of approving the vaccine as safe for all Americans. Once vaccines are given, the CDC and FDA will be asking all health care providers and facilities to use the existing Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, VAERS, to monitor any side effects and adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccines. The advisory panel will meet again at some point to decide who should be next in line. Among the possibilities: teachers, police, firefighters and workers in other essential fields such as food production and transportation; the elderly; and people with underlying medical conditions.Experts say the vaccine will probably not become widely available in the U.S. until the spring.ACIP is a 15-member panel of outside scientific experts, created in 1964, that makes recommendations to the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who almost always approves them. Childhood vaccine schedules are one example of the work of this group. The recommendations are not binding, but for decades they have been widely heeded by doctors, and they have determined the scope and funding of U.S. vaccination programs.It will be up to state authorities whether to follow the guidance. It will also be left to them to make further, more detailed decisions if necessary — for example, whether to put emergency room doctors and nurses ahead of other health care workers if vaccine supplies are low. 4517

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - An election worker in New Haven, Connecticut, has tested positive for the coronavirus, leading to a dozen other workers being quarantined. Maritza Bond, the city's public health director, says the infected employee has not been to work since last week after experiencing possible coronavirus symptoms and that offices in City Hall have been disinfected. The 12 people placed in quarantine were temporary employees who spent Tuesday in the city clerk's office counting absentee ballots. City-Town Clerk Michael Smart has asked the secretary of the state's office for support to ensure elections operations are completed Wednesday. 661

Northwestern Memorial Hospital near Chicago says it has successfully completed two life-saving double lung transplants on COVID-19 patients — the first known procedures on virus patients in the U.S.The procedures were conducted on a 28-year-old woman and a 62-year-old man earlier this summer.According to a press release from Northwestern Medicine, Mayra Ramirez arrived at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital with COVID-19 symptoms on April 26. Within 10 minutes of arriving at the hospital, Ramirez was placed on a ventilator."From there, everything was a blur," Ramirez said.COVID-19 had "overrun" the paralegal's lungs, according to Dr. Beth Malsin at Northwestern Memorial."For many days, she was the sickest person in our COVID ICU and possibly the entire hospital," she said.Ramirez spent weeks in the COVID-19 ICU at the hospital, a time that she says she doesn't really remember."All I remember was being put to sleep as I was being intubated and then six weeks of complete nightmares," she told CNN. "Some of the nightmares consisted a lot of drowning, and I attribute that to not being able to breathe."By early June, doctors had decided that the virus had done irreversible damage to Ramirez's lungs, and only a transplant would save her life. After an urgent evaluation, she was placed on the transplant list.On June 5, Ramirez went through the life-saving procedure, just 48 hours after being listed on the transplant list.According to The New York Times, doctors are often extremely hesitant to perform lung transplants — patients must be sick enough to require new organs, but also healthy enough to be able to survive the procedure and rehab. As an otherwise healthy 28-year-old woman, Ramirez fit the qualifications.Ramirez was discharged from the hospital on July 8 — 71 days after she arrived at the hospital. She was the first COVID-19 patient in the United States to receive a double lung transplant.“People need to understand that COVID-19 is real. What happened to me can happen to you. So please, wear a mask and wash your hands. If not for you, then do it for others,” Ramirez said.Exactly one month after completing the first procedure, doctors at Northwestern Memorial performed a second double lung transplant on a COVID-19 patient. 62-year-old Brian Kuhns originally arrived at the hospital on March 18 after suffering from a severe cough.Prior to arriving at the hospital, Kuhns thought COVID-19 was "a hoax," according to his wife, Nancy."I assure you; Brian’s tune has now changed. COVID-19 is not a hoax. It almost killed my husband,” Nancy Kuhns said.Kuhns underwent surgery on July 5. According to the hospital, a typical double-lung transplant takes six or seven hours. Kuhns' surgery took 10 hours because COVID-19 resulted in lung necrosis and severe inflammation in the chest cavities.Kuhns was taken off a ventilator a day after the surgery, and the hospital says he continues to recover at an "optimal" pace."If my story can teach you one thing, it’s that COVID-19 isn’t a joke. Please take this seriously," Kuhns said. 3069

NEW YORK — The Uncle Ben’s rice brand is changing its name to Ben's Original. Parent company Mars Inc. is the latest company to drop a logo criticized as a racial stereotype. Mars said the Ben's Original packaging will hit stores in 2021. Since the 1940s, the rice boxes have featured a white-haired Black man, sometimes with a bowtie. According to Uncle Ben's website, the name "Uncle Ben" refers to a "legendary Texan farmer, Uncle Ben who was known for his exceptionally high-quality rice." Frank Brown, a maitre d' at a Chicago restaurant, posed for "Uncle Ben's" portrait, which has since served as the brand's logo.Critics have said the image evoke servitude. Global President for Mars Food Fiona Dawson says the company is still deciding on an image to accompany the new name. Pressure on brands to retire racial imagery have intensified amid the Black Lives Matter protests over police killings of unarmed African Americans. Aunt Jemima syrup and pancake mix was the first company to announce a planned name change amid widespread civil unrest. Other brands like Cream of Wheat and Eskimo Pie have said they will retire racial logos. 1149
