COVID-19 vaccine rates dwindle; variant makes them more important
The Daily Telegram
ADRIAN The county has moved away from mass vaccination clinics as the number of people getting vaccinated has dwindled.
A couple of months ago, the vaccination rate was around 40% and today it stands at 45.59%, according to reports from the Michigan Department of Human Services.
“We’re moving from the large vaccination clinics to a model that makes it more convenient for people,” Martha Hall, Lenawee County health officer said. “We’re not seeing huge numbers. Before we were seeing very large numbers of people coming in in a day, and those numbers are definitely lower than what they were. In addition to being available at the Health Department, the vaccine is also available through pharmacies and health care providers here in the county.”
Amid the long-running controversy over a California ethnic studies curriculum that in an early draft omitted Jews and criticized Israel, a newly released ethnic studies curriculum in Marin County takes a different approach, incorporating a healthy portion of its lessons to teaching about antisemitism, the Holocaust and Jewish emigration to the United States.
It will be finalized in time for the start of school in August and distributed to all four Marin high school districts, which will be able to decide independently how or whether to use it.
According to a copy of the draft dated June 14 and provided to J., the lessons on anti-Jewish hate are framed through the definitions of antisemitism provided by the Anti-Defamation League and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. The 44-page curriculum devotes six pages to the topic in a section titled “Antisemitism and its Impact on Jewish Americans in the U.S.”
