South Colonie School District has proposed building a bus garage at 100 Broderick Street, the last section of the Village of Colonie that is undeveloped but contiguous to the rest of the Albany Pine Bush. As you might guess, Save the Pine Bush and others are quite concerned about this proposal.

CDC advisers recommend Pfizer’s low-dose COVID vaccine for kids : Shots – Health News : NPR

Children ages 5 through 11 years old may soon be able to get a low-dose COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer-BioNTech. Advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted unanimously to recommend the shots Tuesday for the approximately 28 million U.S. children in this age group.

If the recommendations are endorsed by the CDC's director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, as expected, children could begin getting their shots within the next several days.

The vaccine is one-third the adult dose, and the vaccine would be given in two doses, three weeks apart. The lower dose was chosen to minimize side effects and still produce strong immunity, Pifzer says.
