Anyone who is an adult in Rhode Island is now eligible for a coronavirus booster shot.
Rhode Island state officials made the decision on Tuesday, November 16, according to WJAR. It comes at a time when the federal Food and Drug Administration has not yet authorized booster shots for emergency use for adults for the Pfizer vaccine; it has authorized them for the other two vaccines used in the United States: Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson.
The Milton public school system is recommending to elementary school children a book that features drawings of naked children and encourages masturbation.
School officials sent a letter to parents and guardians of fifth grade students in May 2021 about the school's puberty-oriented Growth and Development program, which the school district says is designed "to ensure that our 5th grade students have the knowledge to enter adolescence prepared with facts and confidence." The letter, from the school district's director of nurses, includes a list of eight books that the district recommends for students that are available on Amazon and through the Milton Public Library's online services.
