| Mississippi offers vaccines to all adults, Moderna studies shot efficacy in children, and some states work to vaccinate incarcerated people. Here's what you should know: Headlines Mississippi expands vaccine eligibility to all adults Yesterday, Mississippi became the second state, after Alaska, to make vaccines available to anyone over the age of 16. As part of a push to reach especially vulnerable groups, the state is also partnering with six community health centers and has set up a hotline that community organizations like churches can call to host their own vaccination events. Arizona and Michigan have also made the vaccine available to all adults in select counties, and at least six states have said they intend to expand eligibility to the general population this month or next. Moderna begins a study of its shot's efficacy in children Moderna announced yesterday that children between the ages of 6 months and 12 years old have started receiving its Covid-19 vaccine as part of a study testing the shot's effectiveness in children. Studies of the vaccine's effects on adolescents are already underway. The child study is being coordinated with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and will eventually include around 6,750 children in the US and Canada. Efforts are underway to prioritize vaccinating people in jails and prisons At least one in five incarcerated people in the US have contracted Covid-19, and some prisons have had such severe outbreaks that they have reportedly crossed the threshold for herd immunity. In response, 40 states have prioritized incarcerated people in their vaccine rollout plans. In other states, though, the idea of vaccinating inmates has caused controversy. And even when incarcerated people are offered vaccines, many are rightfully wary, given the US' history of medical experimentation on people in prison.

Same goes for respiratory syncytial virus and enterovirus D68, which primarily affect babies and kids. Some modelers say this is cause for concern: Often, a season in which few susceptible people become infected is followed by one in which infections are worse. But on the flip side, this past winter's low numbers mean that mask-wearing, social distancing, and other measures we've put in place are also highly effective at preventing flu spread. Any changes we keep in place post-pandemic, from normalizing masks to expanding work-from-home policies, could help more susceptible people avoid catching the flu in the future.
