WASHINGTON, D.C. — Federal officials say the key component to getting the COVID-19 vaccine distributed across the country will lie in the hands of states, with help from major pharmacy chains, like CVS and Walgreens.“We want to replicate what the experience you have with the flu vaccine — convenient to you, a tried-and-true system that we do hundreds of millions of vaccines through every year,” said U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar. “That's the backbone of the approach we're taking.”Yet, if flu vaccine rates are any indication, that backbone may not suffice.Dr. Eric Schneider is with The Commonwealth Fund, an independent organization that studies health policy. They recently delved into previous vaccination rates to see how it might unfold for COVID-19.“Our health care system does well at developing new technologies like these vaccines, which are really quite amazing, scientifically speaking,” Dr. Schneider said. “But we don't do as well at making sure those technologies are distributed to the people who need them most. And we're seeing that in the prior vaccination experience, and I’m worried we will see that with COVID-19.”What did they find?A mere 51% of Americans got the flu vaccine last year and only 38% got the H1N1 swine flu vaccine 10 years ago, which had a similar vaccine development timetable and pressure to COVID-19.Those low vaccination rates matter because in order for the COVID-19 vaccine to create herd immunity in the U.S., between 70 and 90% of all Americans will need to get vaccinated.“The concept of herd immunity really is developed out of vaccination programs because the question is ‘What proportion of the population needs to be vaccinated to prevent the circulation of a virus in the population?’” Dr. Schneider said.Just getting that shot could vary depending on where you live, as the federal government is leaving that up to each state.“That's going to be up to the nation's governors as they prioritize within their states,” HHS Secretary Azar said.However, Dr. Schneider said that in order for the states to pull it off, they are going to need federal help.“States are in incredible difficulty right now with their budgets and they need federal support,” he said. “Congress is considering a federal rescue package. That funding is really necessary to get states the support they need to vaccinate large numbers of people.”Large numbers of people are now waiting for a rescue of their own from a virus that’s changed everything.For a closer look at the results of the study on vaccination rates from The Commonwealth Fund, click here. 2612

WELLINGTON, Florida — Imagine going to the hospital to have back surgery, only to wake up and learn one of your major organs was mistakenly removed.That nightmare was a reality for one West Palm Beach, Florida woman at Wellington Regional Medical Center.“It was an ordinary day," described Maureen Pacheco, who was 51 when it happened back in April 2016.Pacheco was suffering from back pains from a car accident and after a lengthy process and diagnosis from her doctors, she was checked into Wellington Regional to have back surgery to help with the pains.“There was no red flags or anything," she said of the day she went into the operating room.But she ended leaving the hospital without one of her healthy kidneys. One of the surgeons, Dr. Ramon Vazquez, mistook it for a cancerous tumor and removed it from her body without her consent.“He just took my life and just dismissed it," said Pacheco.Pacheco recently settled in a lawsuit against her doctors  -- Dr. John Britt and Dr. Jeffrey Kugler -- and Dr. Vazquez.However, a complaint by the Florida Department of Health is still ongoing. Adding to the frustration, Pacheco says Dr. Vazquez wasn't even her doctor -- his job was just to cut her open so her physicians could perform the back surgery.“If he would have looked at the MRIs that were given to him, he would’ve realized it," she said. According to the state's?health department website, Dr. Vazquez has an active medical license. The site shows him practicing at with Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, St. Mary's Medical Center and Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach, and Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach.“Physicians do get second chances," said Pacheco's attorney, Donald Ward III of Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, PA in West Palm Beach.“It’s unlikely that he would lose his license over something like this. What is most likely is that he would face a fine and possibly be required to do some continuing medical education so that he could learn not to make the same mistake in the future," he added.Ward said Dr. Vazquez would have to pay that fine out of pocket because he didn’t have malpractice insurance.“What is not common is for you to meet that general surgeon the morning of and be told that if something were to happen to you, that general surgeon doesn’t carry any health insurance whatsoever," he said.Dr. Vazquez's attorney, Mike Mittelmark, said his client settled the matter for a nominal amount due to the uncertainty of litigation. He added that in no way did Dr. Vazquez admit liability by agreeing to the settlement.“I wish no ill will against him. Everyone is entitled to their livelihood but you should have consequences when gross mistakes and negligence are made," said Pacheco. “I just wish that he learns a lesson from the consequences."Pacheco said no amount of money will fix the complications she faces for the rest of her life.“It’s always in the back of my mind -- lifelong kidney transplant or dialysis," she said. “Now, I’m always fearful.”Wellington Regional Medical Center issued this statement in response to WPTV's request for comment: 3147

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The number of people applying for unemployment aid jumped last week to 853,000, the most since September.The rise in jobless claims serves as evidence that some companies are cutting more jobs as new coronavirus cases spiral higher.The Labor Department said Thursday that the number of applications increased by 137,000, from 716,000 the previous week.The four-week moving average was 776,000, an increase of 35,500 from the previous week’s revised average, according to department.Before the coronavirus paralyzed the economy in March, weekly jobless claims typically numbered only about 225,000.The current rise in unemployment comes as the U.S. continues to break records for single-day coronavirus cases and deaths. Wednesday marked the first time more 3,000 people died from COVID-19 in a day in the U.S. since the pandemic began, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. 912
