US Airlines Extend Masking Requirements For 1 Month Due To CDC Recommendation

The TSA has previously expected the mask mandate would expire after March 18, but it will be extended by a month due to the CDC's recommendation.

During that time, the CDC will work to revise its framework around when masks should be required on forms of transportation, basing its assessment on COVID case levels, new variant risks and other data.

US travelers and commuters have been required to wear masks covering their mouths and noses on nearly all forms of public transportation and inside transportation hubs for nearly two years now. The mandates have been extended twice before.

The latest extension comes as most states have dropped masking mandates and the CDC has eased its federal masking guidance as well. But even as cases continue to decline, the CDC has decided to extend its COVID restrictions for some reason.

Of course, enforcing masking guidelines has proved "challenging" for the TSA. Airlines, the FAA and the federal security agency have issued a record number of fines to unruly passengers, with almost all of the incidents beginning due to non-compliance with masking rules.

FDA Rejects Non-mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine For Children: Company

Ocugen said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declined to issue an emergency use authorization for Covaxin, the COVID-19 vaccine developed by its Indian partner Bharat Biotech, for children.

The biopharmaceutical company said it intends to continue working with the FDA to evaluate the process for getting an emergency use authorization for pediatric use of Covaxin, it said in a March 4 statement that announced the health agency’s decision. The company had sought to authorize the shot for children aged 2 to 18.

Ocugen had entered into a deal with vaccine maker Bharat in late 2020, under which it would develop, supply, and commercialize Covaxin for the U.S. market.

Covaxin, which isn’t cleared for any age group in the United States, is one of the two most widely used COVID vaccines in India and also has an emergency use listing from the World Health Organization.

A large-scale clinical trial found that the vaccine provided decent protection against COVID-19, although it was carried out before the spread of the Omicron variant, which began to spread in the United States in late 2021.

Covaxin, unlike Moderna or Pfizer, doesn’t use messenger RNA (mRNA) technology; it uses inactivated coronavirus technology.

The FDA has only fully authorized Pfizer’s two-shot mRNA vaccine for children aged 5 to 17. There are currently no COVID-19 vaccines authorized for children under 5.

Ocugen said it’s continuing to seek full approval for the vaccine within the United States; the company previously said it would start enrolling adult U.S. volunteers for a clinical trial.

Some health experts have argued that most healthy children should not receive the vaccine, as a number of studies and data have shown that children have an extremely low chance of dying from COVID-19 or developing severe symptoms.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently recommends that children aged 5 and older receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

On March 7, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo told reporters that his state “is going to be the first state to officially recommend against the COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said during the same event that there’s “a failure to weigh costs and benefits, whether that’s lockdowns, whether that’s school closures, or whether that’s even something about whether a healthy 7-year-old kid should get the COVID vaccines.”
