The Bidens’ family dog Major has been involved in another biting incident that required a National Park Service employee to receive medical attention. Two people with knowledge of the incident informed CNN that the incident took place on the White House South Lawn on Monday afternoon after which the employee had to stop working to receive treatment from the White House medical unit.

First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary Michael LaRosa spoke to CNN, saying that Major still needs to adjust to his new surroundings after moving into the White House. The previous individual bitten was a Secret Service agent, resulting in the dogs being sent back home to Delaware. President Joe Biden did state the dogs were receiving training to avoid such other incidents.

Germany to limit AstraZeneca vaccine to over 60-year-olds

Germany to limit AstraZeneca vaccine to over 60-year-olds
Mar 31 2021 Share

Chancellor Angela Merkel stated on Tuesday that Germany will now be only administering AstraZeneca vaccine to people aged over 60. This news comes after the country’s vaccine committee gave its advice following reports of rare blood clots found in 31 people following first dose. This decision contravenes European Medicines Agency (EMA) and World Health Organisation’s (WHO) statements that no link between blood clots and vaccine has been found.

Germany’s vaccines committee provided no explanation for this decision and did not state what proportion of the population that was vaccinated showed blood clot side effects. Anyone younger than 60, stated Merkel, can voluntarily receive AstraZeneca vaccines after thorough clarification with doctors that consider individual risk.

The new measure which limits people in public from groups of 4 to groups of 2 will be effect as of today 31st March 2021. This number is not applicable if the members are of the same household. This measure was put into effect by government after the Health Authorities recommended them due to this week’s various holidays and festivities.

The fine appointed to any one found breaking this rule will amount to €300, which is a €100 increase from previous fines accompanied to breaking this measure. Health Authorities remind the public that despite vaccine roll-out being the main offence against COVID-19, obeying measures is necessary for mitigation as well.
