(Bloomberg) -- Governor Gretchen Whitmer called for Michiganders to voluntarily suspend social activities for two weeks, and asked the federal government to prioritize additional vaccines to the state, to help slow the spread in the hottest Covid-19 spot in the U.S. Like other Midwestern states, Illinois is seeing Covid-19 cases jump even as vaccinations accelerate.
Pfizer Inc. and its partner BioNTech SE said they would ask regulators in the U.S. and elsewhere to allow use of their Covid-19 vaccine in adolescents ages 12 to 15. The University of Kentucky joined a growing list of schools nudging students to be vaccinated before school starts this fall.
