Summary
The FDA put out analyses yesterday showing that Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine is highly effective, setting the stage for its approval as early as this weekend.
The CDC put out new guidelines for safely reopening schools earlier this month, and it comes as the Biden administration has said they are working to get a majority of K-8 schools open in their first 100 days. We spoke to Washington Post education reporter Moriah Balingit about the new guidelines, the COVID risk in schools, and what it all means for teachers and parents.
And in headlines: Ghana became the first country to get free COVID-19 vaccines through COVAX, an update on Tiger Woods condition following his car crash, and California beats a legal challenge to its net neutrality law.

| 0:49.8 | vaccine next week. |
| 0:59.8 | Wow. Okay. So you heard that right. Vaccine number three might just be right around the corner, |

| 1:24.9 | to see it. So we'll wait to see for sure if it does get authorized. But you know, it would |
| 1:29.4 | be the first single dose vaccine available so that none of itself is big. But at least |
| 1:33.9 | in the immediate term, it's not going to completely change the supply picture, but it |
