Vaccination

Coronavirus cases are rising, and flu season is in full swing – and Wyoming's children are least protected compared to other states.

Wyoming has ranked as the 5th 'least safe' states to live in during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

President Joe Biden has announced sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans in an all-out effort to increase COVID-19 vaccinations and curb the surging delta variant.

"Remember, the hospitalizations due to COVID-19 - 99.8% of them are people who have not had their vaccine," he said. "So those of you out there who have not had a vaccine; you're a sitting duck right now."

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control rates Wyoming flu activity as moderate.

The Department of Health estimates the season won't peak for a while, leaving time for vaccination.

Police hope either the owner of the dogs or someone who has information on the dogs' whereabouts will call the Animal Control Unit at 721-5385 or the non-emergency dispatch line at 721-2526.

The VA Mobile Clinic will hold a flu clinic in Laramie on Monday, Oct. 6.
