Unalaska is making progress on a long-awaited library renovation and expansion plans are confirmed to close the library’s current building and move to a temporary location in the Burma Road Chapel. Librarian Karen Kresh confirmed plans and dates with the contractor Tuesday. She said the library will close its current location on March 14 to begin moving. Kresh said the Burma Road Chapel will function “like a little mini library.”

State health officials have asked Alaska vaccine providers to follow federal recommendations to pause use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines due to a clotting risk. More than 7 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine have been administered across the U.S., but a handful of women have gotten a blood clot afterward, prompting the pause. In Unalaska, however, that halt is not expected to have much of an effect on the city s vaccination effort, according to local health officials. I think in the grand scheme of vaccination, it s not going to change things much, said Megan Sarnecki medical director and family medicine physician for the Iliuliuk Family and Health Services clinic. [The pause] came on relatively late. We didn t have very many [Johnson & Johnson] doses. And luckily, we ve already given out a lot of vaccinations [in general].
