Who can get vaccinated and who cannot?

Around the world, eligibility requirements vary drastically.
You can be vaccinated if you are:
— Young in Israel
— Old in India
— A smoker in Illinois
— A pregnant woman in New York

See who else is eligible.

Age is a defining requirement in most places, but seniors aren’t first in line everywhere. Older people are at high risk for severe illness from Covid-19. But Chinese officials have been reluctant to vaccinate seniors, citing a lack of clinical trial data. nyti.ms/2ORUPpp
Even across the U.S., states have very different criteria. Smokers are a priority in some places, but not in others. Grocery and restaurant workers in some states can get vaccinated; postal workers can in others. nyti.ms/2ORUPpp

Democrats and Republicans live apart from each other, even in the same city, right down to the neighborhood, raising questions about how closely lifestyle preferences have become aligned with politics and how neighbors may influence one another. nyti.ms/3lr4i2O
Nearly all American voters live in communities where they are less likely to encounter people with opposing politics. New research shows that, over the past decade, this partisan segregation has been growing more pronounced. nyti.ms/3lr4i2O
These maps show Democrats and Republicans can live in very different places, even within the same city, in ways that are not fully explained by racial segregation or simple urban/rural divides that are evident in aggregated election results. nyti.ms/3lr4i2O

How prepared are we for the next pandemic?

We asked scientists, public health experts and health advocates to tell us what they’ve learned from the mistakes, missed chances and oversights in handling Covid-19. nyti.ms/2ODboFs
Experts say the coronavirus pandemic has shown the need to put science first, and to invest in data that can help inform public health decisions. nyti.ms/2ODboFs
Coordinated efforts across the U.S. can help create consistent standards for state and local officials, public health experts say. And they advise a coordinated federal response may help cut down on differing guidelines and mixed messages. nyti.ms/2ODboFs

The use of Agent Orange in the neutral nation of Laos by the U.S. during the Vietnam War remains one of the conflict’s last untold stories.

The extent to which the U.S. military broke international agreements has never been fully documented, until now.
nyti.ms/30LalWv
An exclusive report in @NYTmag reveals how the U.S. deployed Agent Orange secretly, illegally and in large amounts during the war. At least 600,000 gallons of herbicides, deployed by the U.S., rained down on Laos.

nytimes.com/2021/03/16/mag…
In 2017, a group called the War Legacies Project began visiting the villages of ethnic minorities whose homes straddle the Laos-Vietnam border. It was the first time anyone had tried to assess the present-day impact of the defoliant on these groups.
