New York State COVID-19 tracker forward.ny.gov/percentage-positive-results-county- dashboard. IMPORTANT: There is still no cure for COVID-19, it will take months to administer the vaccines for herd immunity, and there is concern about highly contagious variants, in particular the UK and NYC variants. To stop the spread of COVID-19: • wear face coverings when you are with people who are not in the same household • maintain distance (6 feet between people who are not in the same household) • practice good hand hygiene • stay home if sick (seek care if you feel seriously ill) When community rates of infection are high, limit non-essential activities, travel and indoor gatherings with people who are not in your household. NYS travel advisory coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-travel-advisory. Vaccinations Vaccinations are free; public health officials recommend getting a vaccination as soon as you are eligible. All three of the vaccinations that are offered are effective at preventing serious cases of covid-19. The NYC Vaccine Finder site has been improved and it now tells you everywhere in NYC that vaccinations are available and the type of vaccination offered vaccinefinder.nyc.gov. 4/8/2021 (new) Walk-up vaccinations (no appointment necessary) for persons age 75+ [available at Ford Foundation Health Center, 321 E 42nd St] New York City is expanding its walk-up appointment pilot for New Yorkers over the age of 75 at city- run sites. If you are 75+, you can go to these vaccine sites and get vaccinated without an appointment. In addition, if you bring a companion who is an eligible New Yorker, they can get vaccinated at the same time. Additional, site-specific information can be found on nyc.gov/vaccinefinder. New Yorkers age 75 and older must show proof of age upon arrival at the 7 vaccination site. In order to be vaccinated, the person accompanying them must be eligible to receive vaccine due to age, employment, or other reason. As noted below, New Yorkers who are 16 and 17 must receive the Pfizer vaccine – please keep in mind that if Pfizer is not available at these vaccine sites, and you bring a companion who is 16 or 17, they will not be able to get vaccinated at the same time. The following is a walk-up vaccine site in Manhattan near Murray Hill. Ford Foundation Community Health Center/Clinic, 321 E 42nd Street, Manhattan, 10017, (Monday – Saturday, 9am – 5pm). See the MHNA website page Vaccinations for useful links and phone numbers on how to determine your eligibility and schedule an appointment. It is difficult to get an appointment for a vaccination in the neighborhood at this time, as the number of eligible people far exceeds the number of vaccines available. Pharmacies participating in the vaccinations are Walgreens/Duane Reade, RiteAid, CVS. You can also set up accounts on their websites, and request alerts. Some doctors’ offices are getting limited supplies of the vaccinations. If you prefer to be vaccinated by your primary care physician, contact your doctor. If you are a Veteran, 60+, and currently enrolled in VA Healthcare, the Manhattan VA Medical Center is administering vaccines. Eligible Veterans must schedule an appointment by calling 1-877-877-9267. CDC's Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html 3/8/2021 People are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19 2 weeks after they have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or 2 weeks after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson [J&J]/Janssen). Can You Catch the Coronavirus After Getting Vaccinated? April 5, 2021, aarp.org. by Michelle Crouch, AARP Odds are low, but some fully vaccinated people have been infected with the coronavirus...if you do get infected after your vaccination, your case is likely to be asymptomatic or mild, like a common cold. [Editor’s note: This happened at my mother’s senior residence. A resident tested positive after being fully vaccinated. She was asymptomatic. She has to quarantine until she has 2 consecutive negative covid tests. The lesson here is that we need to continue to take precautions until the community rate of infection declines.] NYC Adults Vaccinated in ZIP Code 10016.

Presidents Letter -March/April 2019 Table of Contents AND THE SURVEY SAID…. President’s Letter 1&2 A huge THANK YOU to all who completed the survey sent out Membership Matters earlier this year! It has provided us with some concrete ideas we 3 can address when it comes to holding future National Specialty. TTHWF We received a ton of data and currently are exploring ways to share these results with everyone in a simplified way. Most of the 4 people who responded had attended the 2018 National and 53% Journal/Yearbook Advertising Form noted their experiences were excellent, 45% felt it was average. 5 Our goal is to get more people attending and having a great time! The OFA The most attended activity, according to those who participated in the survey, was the Auction Dinner, with the Conformation, the 6 Annual Meeting and the Top 20 to follow in that order. As AKC Canine Health Grants President I was excited to see the stats on the attendance at the 7&8 Annual meeting. People also commented on the importance of this Meet the Breeds event, noting it is an “obligation” as a member of the Club, and I agree. When ranking the order of the events people consider the 9 most important to the TTCA, “Conformation, Sweeps & Futurity” AKC PAC was #!. Performance events were #2, Breeder Education #3, and 10 thru 13 with the Auction #4. It terms of it’s ranking, the Annual Meeting Touring the AKC Museum of the Dog was ranked last! It may not be one of the most fun parts of the National but it is one of the most important and it define us as an 14 AKC Parent Club.

This week on the show, we track three stories in the headlines from 100 years ago, from the first week of May 1919, Mike Shuster recalls Britain threatening to reinstate the blockade if Germany resisted signing the Versailles Treaty, appalling many, Dr. Edward Lengel continues his top ten countdown of personal accounts from World War I.
