New York City goes into tier 2 of vaccinations for ages 60+

Tuesday, March 9, 2021

The European Union will propose a certificate that could ease travel for those who have taken EU-approved shots as well as others. New York state lowered its vaccine eligibility age to 60 from 65.

The vaccine from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE showed a high ability in lab experiments to neutralize strains first detected in Brazil, the U.K. and South Africa. Norway became the latest European country to add AstraZeneca Plc’s vaccine to its immunization program for the elderly, and it was also cleared for emergency use in Indonesia.

In the U.S., airlines are urging the Biden administration to develop virus passports as infections spread at the slowest pace since the pandemic began almost a year ago. Global cases, meanwhile, are picking up speed again after dropping to the lowest level since October a few weeks ago.
