Bismarck  (NDDoH)   – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the use of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine for a single booster dose, to be administered at least six months after completion of the primary series for certain individuals.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finalized COVID-19 booster dose recommendations for people who previously received Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The following individuals are recommended to receive a booster dose:

• people 65 years and older and residents in long-term care settings should receive a booster shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer primary series,
• people aged 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions should receive a booster shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer primary series,
• people aged 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions may receive a booster shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks, and
• people aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting may receive a booster shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks.

These recommendations are ONLY for those who originally received the two-dose series of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. Booster doses might be recommended in the future for those who received COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by Moderna or Janssen (Johnson & Johnson). There is not yet data available to recommend mixing vaccine brands or to recommend additional doses of Moderna or Janssen vaccine.

This recommendation does not mean that COVID-19 vaccines are not working. Hospitalization rates are ~10-22 times higher in unvaccinated adults compared to vaccinated adults. Vaccinated people are five times less likely to get sick from COVID-19, compared to those who are unvaccinated. Vaccine effectiveness has declined against infection (having COVID-19 symptoms) but is still highly protective against hospitalization and death. Effectiveness against hospitalization has declined for those 65 and older.

Booster doses may not be available until later next week. Healthcare providers will need to educate staff and update protocols based on this new recommendation. The NDDoH has planned with long-term care facilities to ensure they have access to booster doses in the coming weeks. Please. stay tuned for more information. As a reminder, people may be vaccinated against influenza at the same time as receiving a COVID-19 booster.

Information on COVID-19 vaccine providers and clinics near you can be found on the NDDoH COVID Vaccine Locator page. Individuals can also contact the NDDoH public health hotline at 1-866-207-2880 for questions related to COVID-19 and for assistance in scheduling a vaccine appointment.

MAKOTI, N.D. (AP) — The first car jumping attempt in five years by North Dakota’s version of Evil Knievel ended in disaster when the car driven my the man known as the Flying Farmer corkscrewed off the ramp and rolled. Authorities say 57-year-old John Smith was alert after the crash Saturday at a rural gravel pit and that he even tried to pull himself out of the car while talking to rescuers. He was eventually cut out and taken by a medical helicopter to a hospital, according to firefighters. The extent of his injuries wasn’t known. The crowd of about 300 spectators went silent when Smith crashed. The Bismarck Tribune reports that his family members, including his daughters and wife Melinda, reacted emotionally, running to the mangled car.

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — A man with a felony record has pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a gun that he left with four unsupervised children in his Moorhead home, where one of the children accidentally shot and killed the man’s 6-year-old cousin. Phillip N. Jones, Jr., 34, entered his plea Thursday in St. Paul in connection with the death of Marcellus Dixon, who was shot and killed on March 21 at an apartment.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s first and only federal capital punishment case is on hold after a federal judge threw out the death sentence given to Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. in 2006 in the death of college student Dru Sjodin. Judge Ralph Erickson cited what he called misleading testimony from a medical examiner and failures by defense attorneys to say a new sentencing phase would be warranted. Prosecutors have to decide whether they will appeal first. That’s a question that comes as President Joe Biden personally opposes capital punishment and executions nationwide are on hold. Sjodin’s family has said they support the death penalty for Rodriguez.

Jamestown  (UJ)  The Midland (Neb.) University football team scored 26 straight points to turn a 14-7 deficit into a 33-14 lead, holding off the University of Jamestown 33-22 Saturday afternoon at Charlotte & Gordon Hansen Stadium.

It was the first conference loss of the season for the Jimmies, now 2-2 overall and 2-1 in the GPAC. UJ is at Doane (Neb.) University next Saturday.

Jamestown scored first, with Cade Torgerson (JR/Billings, Mont.) finding Frankie Ingraldi (FR/Colorado Springs, Colo.) for a 40-yard touchdown pass. Izaak Myles (JR/Apple Valley, Calif.) made the extra point for a 7-0 lead at the 8:55 mark of the opening quarter.

Midland answered with a touchdown drive of their own on the next possession to tie the game. Torgerson tossed his second touchdown of the quarter on UJ’s ensuing drive, finding Micah Madyun (FR/Ramsey, Minn.) from 26 yards out, and the Myles extra point made it 14-7 at the 3:39 mark.

A pair of Jared Quinonez field goals was the only scoring for the Warriors in the second quarter as the Jimmies took a 14-13 lead into halftime.

Two touchdowns by Midland in the third quarter made it 26-14, then Dalton Tremayne broke loose for a 92-yard touchdown run to increase Midland’s lead to 33-14.

Torgerson threw his third touchdown of the game at the 7:57 mark of the fourth, connecting with Javon Bowie-Monteiro (JR/Sacramento, Calif.) on a nine-yard pass, then tossed a pass to Bowie-Monteiro for the two-point conversion.

UJ forced Midland to punt on their next two drives, but could not find their way into the end zone.

Torgerson finished 20-of-37 passing for 301 yards and three scores. Madyun caught five passes for 110 yards while Bowie-Monteiro had seven catches for 72 yards.

Brooks Canfield (SO/Tempe, Ariz.) had nine tackles to lead the defense. Jordan Olson (JR/Prior Lake, Minn.) had eight tackles and intercepted two passes. Ezra Belingheri (FR/Sparks, Nev.) and Colin Kok (SO/Williston, N.D.) also had eight stops, and Rob Anderson (FR/Alexandria, Minn.) also had an interception.

 

— Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes before halftime and guided three clock-draining field goal drives after that as the Vikings accelerated past the Seahawks, 30-17. Alexander Mattison stepped in for the injured Dalvin Cook and racked up 171 total yards, rushing 18 times for 76 yards in the second half. Cousins went 30 for 38 for 323 yards in his third consecutive turnover-free game.

— Ryan Tannehill threw for 197 yards and three touchdowns as the Titans topped the Colts, 25-16. Tennessee’s Derrick Henry ran for 113 yards as he topped the 100-yard mark for a sixth straight divisional game.

— Von Miller led a defense that sacked Zach Wilson five times, intercepted him twice and limited the rookie to 160 yards passing in the Broncos’ 26-0 win over the Jets.

Wilson was 19 of 34 and was picked off by Justin Simmons and Caden Sterns in the fourth quarter.

— Aaron Rodgers completed two deep passes to Davante Adams on a last-minute drive before Mason Crosby drilled a 51-yard field goal as time expired to give the Packers a 30-28 triumph over the 49ers.

UNDATED (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers are the latest major league team to wrap up a playoff berth.

The Brewers clinched their second NL Central title in four years, beating the Mets, 8-4 behind Willy Adames’s (ah-DAH’-mehs-uhz) two-run homer and three RBIs. Freddy Peralta won for the first time since Aug. 10, ending a skid in which he went 0-2 in five starts. He allowed four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings.

— After two dropped foul balls prolonged his at-bat, Aaron Judge doubled in the go-ahead runs to lead the Yankees to a 6-3 victory over the Red Sox and a three-game sweep at Fenway Park.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Courtney Vandersloot led a balanced attack with 19 points and the sixth-seeded Chicago Sky raced past the third-seeded Minnesota Lynx 89-76 in the second-round, single elimination WNBA playoff game.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are promising historic investments across all levels of education as they push ahead with President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion rebuilding plan. The proposal includes universal prekindergarten, two years of free community college and expanded child care subsidies. Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan touches nearly every aspect of American life, but education serves as a bedrock. Advocates call it a landmark bill that makes improvements along the entire arc of an academic career. Republicans decry it as a step toward socialism that will strain the economy. Democrats are trying to pass it on their own, but cuts may be needed to win support within the party.

 

BEIJING (AP) — Global shoppers face possible shortages of smartphones and other goods ahead of Christmas after power cuts to meet government targets forced Chinese factories to shut down and left some households in the dark. In the northeastern city of Liaoyang, 23 people were hospitalized with gas poisoning after ventilation in a metal casting factory was shut off following a power outage, according to state broadcaster CCTV. No deaths were reported. The disruption to China’s vast manufacturing industries during one of their busiest seasons reflects the ruling Communist Party’s struggle to balance economic growth with efforts to rein in pollution and emissions of climate-changing gases.

 

LONDON (AP) — Lines of cars formed at British gas stations for a fourth day on Monday, as the government mulled bringing in the army to help ease supply disruption triggered by a shortage of truck drivers. Brian Madderson, chairman of the Petrol Retailers Association, said training has been taking place “in the background” for military personnel to drive tankers. The government says it has “no plans at the moment” to deploy troops. The haulage industry says the U.K. is short as many as 100,000 truckers, due to a perfect storm of factors including the coronavirus pandemic and an exodus of foreign workers following Brexit. The driver drought is contributing to empty supermarket shelves and shuttered gas pumps.

 

NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s business economists now expect slower economic growth this year due to the widespread delta variant of the coronavirus, while also saying the economy could improve more quickly next year as vaccinations become more accepted. In a survey being released Monday, the National Association of Business Economists found that its panel now expects full-year economic growth of 5.6%, down from a forecast for 6.7% growth in NABE’s previous survey in May. However, economists raised their forecast for 2022 economic growth to 3.5% from a previous outlook of 2.8%. Inflation should remain at elevated levels through the fourth quarter before moderating next year, the survey’s panelists predict.

 

TOKYO (AP) — Global shares are mixed as fears of further waves of coronavirus outbreaks cloud the economic outlook, tempering gains. European shares rose in early trading Monday while shares in Asia were mixed. U.S. futures were higher. Japan’s ruling party holds an election this week to choose a leader, who is likely to be the next prime minister. All the candidates are promising further fiscal stimulus measures to help kick-start growth stalled by the pandemic. In Singapore, further COVID-19 restrictions began in an attempt to curb the virus’ spread, as daily new cases topped last year’s peak.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a consequential week for President Joe Biden’s agenda as Democratic leaders work to delicately trim back his $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” package and pass legislation to avoid a federal shutdown. The Senate has a test vote set Monday to keep the government running and avert a federal debt default. But that package stands to run into a blockade by Republican senators. Funding runs out after Thursday’s fiscal year-end deadline. Behind the scenes, Biden and Democratic leaders are working to round up votes for his bigger package. An expected House vote Monday on a $1 trillion infrastructure bill was postponed to Thursday.
