The text message sent by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to a person immunized with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. State public health officials on Friday began sending text notifications to Coloradans who the state says are due for a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced Friday that the text notifications will go out over the next 13 days to people whose records in the Colorado Immunization Information System indicate they are: 18 or older and at least six months past their Pfizer or Moderna series 18 or older and at least two months past their Johnson & Johnson shot The text messages, from the number 45778, will go out to more than 1 million Coloradans, the state health department said in a statement. On Thursday, the CDC announced that it recommends a COVID-19 booster shot for “certain populations,” a more narrow spectrum than Colorado’s text advisory, which tells recipients over 18 they “are due for a booster.” The CDC’s authorization states that the following groups of people who’ve received a Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, and are 6 months or more out from their second shot, should receive a booster: 65 years and older 18 or older who live in long-term care settings 18 or older who have certain underlying medical conditions 18 or older who work or live in high-risk settings For the nearly 15 million people who got the one-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine nationwide, booster shots are recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.

  • Zendaya Is a Powerhouse, But Challengers Belongs to Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist
    Time, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 11:13 AM

    The strapping grandeur of Myron’s Discobolus notwithstanding, it’s weirdly taboo to acknowledge the sensual appeal of athletes. Somehow we’re not supposed to notice the sassy-tight buns of football players in their tiny stretch pants, or the easy bedroom drawl of a basketball player’s limbs. The message seems to be, Sports are serious business!

  • Breaking Down the Bonkers But Perfect End of Challengers
    Time, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 10:36 AM

    Warning: This post contains spoilers for Challengers. What is it about tennis that reminds directors of sex? Is it the fact that, unlike swimming or golf, the player must look across the net directly at their opponent? Is it the sheer athleticism on display? Is it the obvious love pun in the scoring?

  • Frozen Chicken Will Soon Get a Lot Safer to Eat
    Time, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 09:56 AM

    Poultry producers will be required to bring salmonella bacteria in certain chicken products to very low levels to help prevent food poisoning under a final rule issued Friday by U. S. agriculture officials. When the regulation takes effect in 2025, salmonella will be considered an adulterant—a contaminant that can cause foodborne illness—when it is detected above certain levels in frozen breaded and stuffed raw chicken products.

    Fragments of the bird flu virus have been found in about one fifth of commercial milk samples tested in a U. S. nationally representative study, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While the presence of traces of the virus in milk doesn’t necessarily indicate a risk to consumers, more tests are needed to confirm if intact pathogen is present and remains infectious, the FDA said in a statement on its website.

  • A road trip to Oklahoma, the path of totality, and making family memories
    Denver Post, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 07:59 AM

    We had expected that seeing a total solar eclipse in the path of totality would be the highlight of our trip. In hindsight, it was also the perfect excuse to be together, three generations on a simple road trip through five states. On April 6, three of us set out from Lakewood — me, my 23-year-old son Ryan and 85-year-old mother, Mary — toward Oklahoma, near the Texas and Arkansas borders.
