FDA Proposes , Annual COVID Vaccination Plan.
ABC reports that health officials in
the United States want to make COVID-19
vaccinations more like the annual flu shot.
On January 23, the Food and Drug Administration
proposed a new vaccination effort that would allow
most adults and children to get a once-a-year COVID shot.
ABC points out that this means people in the U.S. would
no longer have to keep track of how many shots
they've received or when they last got boosted.
According to ABC, the proposal comes as over 80% of
the U.S. population has received at least one dose of the
vaccine, while just 16% have received the latest booster.
On January 26, the FDA will refer
to a panel of outside vaccine experts
to weigh the new proposal.
According to FDA scientists, many Americans now
have “sufficient preexisting immunity” because of
vaccination, infection or a combination of the two. .
Scientists at the FDA and vaccine companies suggest
that further study could be done to decide who should
receive a single shot and who requires a two-dose series.
The FDA plan also includes streamlining the process
by switching all vaccines to target the same strains,
thus eliminating the current complicated system.
The proposal also includes a similar approach to the annual
flu shot by having the agency, independent experts and
manufacturers select which strains to target annually.
The FDA has expressed that the move to an annual
schedule would also help promote future vaccination
campaigns and boost nationwide vaccination rates

US Customs Agents , Seize Eggs , at the US-Mexico Border.
CBS reports that United States
customs officials are cracking down on
egg smugglers amid soaring egg prices.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection
spokesman Roger Maier, Americans are trying
to smuggle eggs from Mexico across the border.
We are seeing an increase in people
attempting to cross eggs from Juarez
to El Paso because they are significantly
less expensive in Mexico than the U.S.
This is also occurring with added frequency
at other Southwest border locations, Roger Maier, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection spokesman, via CBS.
San Diego U.S. Customs and Border Protection field operations
director Jennifer De La O said in a tweet that her office , "has recently noticed an increase in
the number of eggs intercepted at our ports.".
CBS reports that failing to declare
agricultural items, like raw eggs,
can carry fines up to $10,000.
According to customs rules, federal law
prohibits certain agricultural products , "because they may carry plant pests
and foreign animal diseases.".
The USDA banned eggs
from entering the U.S.
from Mexico back in 2012. .
According to Border Report, the number of raw egg
incidents reported at the U.S. border jumped over 100% in
the last three months of 2022 compared to the year before.

Meanwhile, the cost of eggs has surged
across the U.S. to reach an average of
$4.25 a dozen, up from just $1.79 in 2021. .
CBS reports that those prices have been driven by
increased consumer demand combined with a decrease
in domestic egg supplies due to an avian flu epidemic.
