THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2021 A13 COVID-19 vaccines NATIONAL BRIEFING Single-dose shot from J&J works, FDA says Biden signals change in course for Postal Service BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AND MATTHEW PERRONE The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Johnson & John- son’s single-dose vaccine offers strong protection against severe COVID-19, according to an analysis released Wednesday by U.S. regulators. The long-anticipated shot could offer the nation a third vaccine option and help speed vaccinations by requiring just one dose instead of two. Food and Drug Administration scientists con- firmed that overall the vaccine is about 66% effective at preventing moderate to severe COVID-19, and about 85% ef- fective against the most serious illness. The agency also said J&J’s shot is safe. The analysis is just one step in the FDA’s evaluation. On Friday, the agen- cy’s independent advisers will debate if the evidence is strong enough to rec- ommend the shot. With that advice, the FDA is expected to make a final decision within days.The COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. topped 500,000 this week, and the vaccination drive has been slower than hoped, hampered by logistical and weather delays. So far, about 44.5 million Americans have re- ceived at least one dose of vaccine made by Pfizer or Moderna, and nearly 20 million of them have received the sec- ond dose required for full protection. Tests showed the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were 95% effective at protec- tion against symptomatic COVID-19. J&J tested its single-dose option in 44,000 adults in the U.S., Latin America and South Africa. Warm Springs Continued from A1 Repairing the water distribu- tion system at Warm Springs, including a new water filtration plant and the network of wa- ter delivery pipes, could cost as much as $130 million, accord- ing to Chico Holliday, Warm Springs water and wastewater supervisor. “Hopefully I get to see it in my lifetime,” Holliday told The Bulletin. The Western Tribal Water Infrastructure Act would make Warm Springs eligible to ap- ply for the Indian Reservation Drinking Water Program. The legislation, currently $20 mil- lion per year, would increase to $50 million per year under passage of the new act. On Wednesday, Interior Sec- retary nominee Deb Haaland said during her confirmation hearing that she will seek solu- tions to tribal water challenges. “We will look at water in a new lens in 2021 when we know climate change is a drastic issue,” said Haaland. “And I hope we can find ways to conserve, re- cycle, move all those issues for- ward so that nobody is stuck in a desert without water to drink.” e e Reporter: 541-617-7818, mkohn@bendbulletin.com President Joe Biden an- nounced three nomina- tions to the board of the U.S. Postal Service, signal- ing confidence in voting by mail and a possible change of course after months of turmoil over slowed deliv- ery under Postmaster Gen- eral Louis DeJoy. Biden named Ron Stro- man, a former deputy postmaster general; An- ton Hajjar, former general counsel of the American Postal Workers Union; and Amber McReynolds, an ex- pert on election administra- tion who leads the National Vote at Home Institute. The three would fill va- cant seats, and if confirmed by the Senate would give Democrats a majority of the nine presidentially ap- pointed slots on the Postal Board of Governors. The board selects the postmas- ter general, and Democrats have urged Biden to move to dismiss DeJoy, a logis- tics executive and Donald Trump donor. Ex-Cuomo aide accuses governor of harassment Ryan Brennecke/The Bulletin file Flint Scott, a Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs member, moves a rack of 5-gallon containers of water while working at the distribution center in August 2019. The water was collected in 2019 when residents were asked to boil their water before they used it. The tribes have an outdated water system that has been plagued in recent years by failing pumps and cracked pipes. C LASSIFIEDS A former member of em- battled New York Gov. An- drew Cuomo’s administra- tion who previously accused him of sexual harassment of- fered new details Wednesday, saying he once kissed her on the lips without consent. Lindsey Boylan said that during her more than three years in the Democrat’s administration, Cuomo “would go out of his way to touch me on my lower back, arms and legs,” she said. Cuomo’s spokesperson called the allegations false. — Bulletin wire reports The Bulletin General Merchandise Employment Legal Notices 200 500 1000 204 Want to Buy or Rent 504 Employment Opportunities Wanted $ Cash paid for vintage, fake, & fine jew- elry.
