Most U.S. states and jurisdictions are experiencing substantial or high levels of community transmission fueled by the spread of the highly contagious B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant. COVID- 19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue to increase, es- pecially in communities with lower vaccination coverage like McLennan County. In the past 7 days, we have seen a 46%, 85%, and 350& increase in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and fatalities in McLennan County. While the number of people getting vaccinated also continues to increase, many people re- main unsure about getting vaccinated, and others do not plan to do so. On July 27, 2021, CDC announced updated Guidance for COVID- 19 Prevention Strategies based on emerging evidence of the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant. CDC recommends that all people, re- gardless of vaccination status, wear masks in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission. A new CDC study supports previous findings that B.1.617.2 (Delta) is highly contagious, and is contributing to an in- crease in cases, including those with severe outcomes and those due to vaccine breakthrough infections. While vac- cinated people can still develop COVID-19, they are far less likely to get severely sick or die than people who are un- vaccinated. Vaccination is the best tool we have for protecting ourselves and our loved ones against COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States continue to protect against severe illness, hospitalizations, and death. The Health District currently offers all three types of vaccine, including Pfizer, which is approved for ages 12+. Appointments and walk-ins are available in our community-based clinics, as well as at our main location at 225 W. Waco Dr. where vaccine is available Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. Vaccination is the simplest and most effec- tive measure to help end this pandemic, and the Health District will continue to make every effort to make the COVID-19 vaccine available and accessible to our community. 3 July 31– August 6, 2021 VACCINATIONS Vaccines administered People who received at least 1 dose People fully vaccinated 186,736 107,730 90,551 United States Texas McLennan County Percentage of Population 12+ Vaccinated with At 68.1% 62.8% 49.9% Least One Dose Percentage of Population 12+ Fully Vaccinated 58.4% 53.2% 42% Percentage of Population 65+ Vaccinated with At 90.2% 83.8% 79.1% Least One Dose Percentage of Population 65+ Fully Vaccinated 80.3% 75.3% 69.6% The following table shows the demographic breakdown of persons who are vaccinated with at least one dose in the US, State of Texas, McLen- nan County, and at the Health District hub US Texas McLennan County Health District Hub Race and Ethnicity White, Non-Hispanic 58.4% 35.35% 53.59% 64.6% Black, Non-Hispanic 9.6% 7.7% 9.37% 10.82% Hispanic, of any race 16.8% 32.24% 17.05% 18.3% Asian, Non-Hispanic 6% 6.21% 2.48% 0.97% Age 12-15 years of age 3.5% 4.3% 2.5% 0.4% 16-64 years of age 70.5% 74.8% 69.8% 61.3% 65+ years of age 26% 20.5% 27.9% 36.7% 4 July 31– August 6, 2021 HEALTH DISTRICT VACCINATION CLINICS The Waco-McLennan County Public Health District began administering COVID-19 vaccinations in December of 2020 and was named as a State Vaccination Hub in January of 2021. The first mass vaccination clinic was held on January 12, 2021. Between January and May of 2021 the Health District hosted 61 days of mass vac- cinations clinics and administered nearly 50,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine. As the demand for COVID-19 vaccine slowed in Figure 1. Community-based vaccination clinics hosted by the Health District May, the Health District transitioned its focus to planning and hosting community-based vaccina- tion clinics. A total of 45 community-based vac- cination clinics (Figure 1) have been hosted in a variety of locations, including large employers, churches, schools, homeless shelters, and various community events such as Juneteenth celebra- tions and the “Waco Civic on 7th” series of events in Downtown Waco. Our focus has been to target our high-risk vulnerable population to ensure equi- table vaccine distribution. Because only about one quarter of our black and Hispanic populations are currently vaccinated for COVID-19, we have worked to schedule vaccination clinics at places that are trusted and familiar to our communities of color such as churches, employers, and schools. A total 1115 doses of vaccine have been administered through our community-based clinics in areas with low vaccination rates (Figure 2). An additional 19 clinics are currently scheduled, with new dates and locations being added daily. The Health District currently offers all three types Figure 2.

SARS-CoV-2 VARIANTS Multiple variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 are circulating globally, including within the United States. To date, four variants have been classified as a variant of concern (VOC). Nationally, the proportion of cases attributed to B.1.617.2 (Delta) is predicted to increase to 93%; B.1.1.7 (Alpha) proportion is predicted to decrease to 2.9%; P.1 (Gamma) proportion is predicted to decrease to 1.3%; and B.1.351 (Beta) is predicted to decrease to below 0.1%. As of August 3, 2021, 15% of the total cases reported in Texas are caused by the Alpha variant and 62% are caused by the Delta variant.

One recent book that offers a strong critique of higher education is entitled simply, “Is College Worth It?” The question of “value” is typically framed in simple economic terms. Do students obtain a sufficient return on investment from their college degree? The focus on economic return is understandable at a time when tuition costs continue to rise, most graduates leave college with some debt, and government support for higher education is in decline. Even so, viewed simply in Reflections is economic terms, a college degree continues to be a very published two good investment.

Pediatric cases and hospitalizations have also increased in recent weeks. Rates of COVID-19-associated hospitalizations are lower in children of all ages compared to adults, but some children develop acute COVID-19 requiring hospitalization.1 In addition, some chil- dren who have had COVID-19 may later develop Multisystem Inflammato- ry Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), a rare but serious condition associated with COVID-19. Because children can be affected by COVID-19 and severe complications can occur, schools are encouraged to implement CDC’s updated Guidance for COVID-19 Prevention in K – 12 Schools to keep children safe. CDC’s updated guidance recommends that schools implement layered prevention strate- gies, including universal masking by all students ages 2 years and older, staff, teachers, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status. It is also recommended that all eligible students, parents, teachers, and staff get vaccinated as soon as possible. Vaccination among eligible populations is critical to stopping the spread of COVID- 19, especially to children under the age of 12 who are not yet eligible for vaccination.
