| BELLA: Welcome back, Blazers, today is Wednesday, September 22nd. I’m Bella. |
| SIENA: And I’m SIENA. A two dose version of the Johson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine was shown to be 94% effective in a study. As of right now, the FDA has only given approval to a one dose version of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. In a trial of the 2 dose regimen, 2 doses given 56 days apart provided 100% protection against severe COVID-19, and 94% protection against moderate to severe covid in the U.S. Globally, the 2 doses provided 75% protection against moderate to severe covid. |
| BELLA: The United States plans to ease foreign travel restrictions, starting in early November. Foreigners will be allowed to enter the country if they have proof of vaccination and a negative covid test. The new policy will replace a patchwork of travel bans and restrictions put in place by president Trump and strengthened by president Biden. The new policy will also not require vaccinated passengers to quarantine after landing. |
| SIENA: And now, let’s go to Gabe to see what Blazers do during lunch! |

| BELLA: The last Confederate statue on Maryland Public Land is set to be taken down and relocated after a vote by the Talbot County Council. The 105-year-old “Talbot Boys” statue, which stands outside the historic courthouse in Easton, Maryland, has been a point of contention for the community. Last week, however, a vote to move the statue to Cross Keys Battlefield, a private park in Harrisonburg, Virginia, passed 3-2. |
