Demand for COVID vaccines drop in Louisiana By Kaitlin Rust | May 4, 2021 at 10:28 PM CDT - Updated May 4 at 10:35 PM
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - New COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths have dropped significantly as more people have gotten vaccinated, but those rates are also now dropping.
“We see roughly about 20 people a day, sometimes less, sometimes a little more, but it’s anybody that really comes in and asks us if we have any vaccine,” Pharmacist Khanh Tran said.
At NOLA Discount Pharmacy, it was hard to keep up with the demand for months. Tran was jabbing up to 60 people a day and fielding calls, asking about extra doses. Now, he’s giving them away to anyone who walks up.

Fiscal session isn’t confined to money issues

The first day of the Legislature’s regular session this past Monday kicked off a with a few reminders that politics never sleep. There were three early morning breakfast fundraisers benefitting seven different lawmakers beginning around 8 a.m., just four hours before the Legislature was to convene its regular session and before a fundraising ban for legislators took hold for the next 60 days.
When the session finally started, and after the fundraising stopped, citizens who made the trek to the Capitol were greeted with many of the same COVID-19 safeguards they encountered last year. Masks and temperature checks were required for entrance, seating was distanced and groups were limited to 30 people. (If you’re planning to attend the session this year and want a view that’s better than the House and Senate floors, you’re out of luck. The Capitol’s observation deck is still closed.)
