Your weekend long reads 💉
Kristina BravoGood morning, friends of The Short List. It’s Kristina, here with your weekend long reads.
To jab, or not to jab? That is the question, still, for some: About 3 in 10 eligible people in the U.S. have not received at least one COVID-19 shot. But employers like Tyson Foods and the U.S. military, and even events like music festivals, are requiring vaccines. Want to travel to Canada? You’ll need to be vaccinated. Pregnant? You should get the shots too, the CDC says. Here are more vaccine stories from across the country:
►From USA TODAY Editor-in-Chief Nicole Carroll: My brother won't get the vaccine. I asked why. His reasons. My responses.
►Fewer jabs mean fewer jobs: States with lower vaccination and higher COVID-19 infection rates are behind in growth this summer.
►Should you vaccinate your under-12 child? Doctors say it's "too risky."
►Vaccine breakups: Is it fair to cut someone out of your life for not getting the shot?
►Florida church vaccinates hundreds after 6 members die from COVID-19 in 10 days.
►Some bosses may charge you $20 to $50 more for health insurance on every paycheck if you're not vaccinated.
