The US Food and Drug Administration is likely to expand any authorizations it may give for Covid-19 vaccine booster recommendation if new data supports wider use, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday.
FDA vaccine advisers voted Friday to recommend emergency use authorization of a booster dose of Pfizer’s vaccine for people 65 and older and those at high risk of severe Covid-19. The FDA has yet to act on that recommendation.
But Fauci told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that the FDA will be following incoming data from the US and Israel in real time and will adjust any authorizations accordingly.
“The waning of protection, particularly against severe disease in younger groups, would trigger the FDA to look at that and see if they want to expand the recommendation to go much younger than 65,” Fauci said.
Fauci said that people will be carefully considering the risk of myocarditis, a rare heart complication associated with the vaccine, seen particularly in young men.
“When you get down to the younger group, particularly young men, where the potential for the rare adverse effect of myocarditis exists, then it’ll be very important to get good safety data in younger people, particularly men,” Fauci said.
If that data does come in, “then I think it’s likely, as we go on over the coming weeks, we’ll see more and more of an expansion of the recommendation for the boosters for those individuals,” Fauci said.
Those who received the Moderna or one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine for their initial vaccine “have not been forgotten,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, noted.
“The data associated with the boosters in those individuals will be coming to the FDA, I would imagine in a couple to three weeks,” he said. “They will examine it in the same way as they did before, and hopefully, they will get a recommendation that would provide equity among people who have had different products in their vaccination regimen.”

Sovereign immunity is a historical legal doctrine of old. Kings and Queens could not be held liable for their actions as sovereigns as early law and government developed. In current times you will hear this doctrine invoked as a defense against liability whenever a government or government employee is sued in court, for example, in cases of police brutality. Florida’s sovereign immunity statutes still protect the government and its officials from personal liability in most cases and place limits on the amount of damages recoverable in most cases.
Section 617.0834, Florida Statutes, provides immunity to you as officers and directors of a Section 501(c)(3) corporation not for profit. You “……shall not be personally liable for monetary damages to any person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to take an action regarding organizational management or policy…….”; but of course there are exceptions:
Most if not all states have enacted similar laws in order to encourage participation in non-profit community work and to shield your lawful activities from personal liability.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced the following actions taken in its ongoing response effort to the COVID-19 pandemic:
Raising kids can be expensive, and the Child Tax Credit is here to help. President Biden’s American Rescue Plan increased the amount of the 2021 Child Tax Credit to support families with children.
The full benefit of the Child Tax Credit is now $300 per month per child under age 6 and $250 for each child age 6 to 17.
Eligibility: Most families, even those with little to no income, can receive the full amount. If you are a single parent making less than $112,500 or a married couple making less than $150,000—and have children under age 18 who will live with you for more than half of 2021 — you are likely eligible for the full benefit. These benefits do not affect your eligibility for other federal benefits like SNAP.

The CAPLAW�s most recent bulletin to all CAA�s advises on employment policies and practices regarding COVID vaccinations (�VAX�), especially for those CAA employers who can and decide to require the VAX for all employees as a condition of employment, which with some CAA�s by implication include visitors, clients, and attendees at meetings of Boards of Directors, and HS/EHS Councils, etc.� The Bulletin and guidance of CAPLAW is available via this LINK
ALPI still conducts Board meetings virtually but may in the near future return to meetings in-person. This edition of The Corner is to provide you with CAPLAW�s most recent advice on these issues. This is especially important due to the Bylaws of the corporation and the councils regarding quorum requirements. Members of the Board and Councils may be missing meetings due to the various effects of the pandemic, timing of their VAX, or fears thereof.
In Florida, due to the Governor�s orders and opinions, the partisan political climate, and due to conflicting guidances from various government entities, there is no specific coherent requirement that ALPI return to in-person meetings at this time. CAPLAW advises to, �Check state and local laws to determine whether you may ask employees for proof of vaccination �� The Governor�s order prohibits VAX �passports� by businesses engaged in local, interstate and even international commerce. That order is not law and is subject to litigation by the cruise ship industry and others. So far, it has not been interpreted or applied by a court.
Therefore, read and keep in mind the attached information and await further guidance and decisions.
