On May 3, 2021, NPR turns 50 years old. To mark this milestone, we re reflecting on and renewing our commitment to Hear Every Voice.
It s been a turbulent time, with a deadly pandemic and a chaotic sometimes violent political climate. In the midst of all this, NPR is marking a milestone; on May 3, 2021, the network turns 50 years old.
On the same day, in 1971, we started holding up our microphone to America.

As the current school year comes to a close, Alaska health officials anticipate kids aged 12 to 15 will become eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine long before school starts again in the fall.

I think we’re more likely, within a month. I would be really shocked if [by] the end of May, we still didn’t have authorization yet for Pfizer in kids 12 and up.”
