People who are severely immunocompromised are at higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 and might not produce a sufficiently strong immune response after two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

A third primary dose offers extra protection and may help reduce the likelihood of transmitting the virus to others. The third primary dose for children is optional but has been recommended by the COVID-19 Vaccine Technical Advisory Group.

Because there are specific criteria for children to qualify for a third primary dose, it’s recommended that parents or guardians schedule an appointment with their health care professional who has access to the child’s medical records to confirm eligibility.

Great white shark stalking the East Coast spotted near New Jersey, Carolinas

FOX NEWS - A massive great white shark stalking the East Coast was spotted near the Carolinas on Monday after earlier being tracked off the coast of New Jersey, according to researchers.Ironbound, the 12-foot, 4-inch shark weighing nearly 1,000 pounds, made headlines after migrating from the Carolinas up the coast to New Jersey late last month.As of Monday, it appears the great white returned to the Carolinas, according to OCEARCH shark researchers who keep track of sharks’ migratory patterns via a tag tracking system.Researchers believe a white shark mating site is located off the Carolinas, the Boston Herald reported.OCEARCH Chief Scientist Robert Hueter told the outlet last week that Ironbound may have left the site early ahead of the other sharks, adding that is unclear what sparked the migration.Despite Ironbound’s apparent return to southern waters, New Jersey may not have seen the last of the great white. Hueter said that the sharks will usually start migrating to northern waters in mid-to-late May and arrive in those areas beginning in June.Ironbound is considered the "leader of the pack," according to Hueter, who described the apex predator as "formidable" and "not the prettiest animal."Ironbound was first tagged in October 2019 near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

Assata Shakur accomplice gets parole in New Jersey trooper's 1973 death

CAMDEN, N.J. - A split New Jersey Supreme Court granted parole Tuesday to a former militant convicted in the 1973 death of a New Jersey state trooper, in a case that has resonated for decades and been a thorny issue in U.S.-Cuba relations.Sundiata Acoli is in his mid-80s and had had several parole bids rejected previously. His attorneys argued he has been a model prisoner for nearly three decades and has counseled other inmates.The state parole board had contended Acoli still is a risk to commit future crimes and hasn’t taken full responsibility for Trooper Werner Foerster’s death.Acoli's more-famous co-defendant, Joanne Chesimard, also was convicted and sentenced to a life term but escaped from a New Jersey prison in 1979.
