The Meningitis Vaccines: What Parents of Adolescents Should Know

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/OpbXUBrzUA4 According to the CDC, COVID-19 disrupted routine well-child visits for many children over the last year. As a result, too many children have fallen behind on receiving recommended vaccines – and that includes adolescents and young adults. If young adults are not receiving these recommended vaccinations, they are now vulnerable to infectious, potentially deadly diseases. So are the campuses and communities they live in. One vaccine that often gets left behind is Meningitis B, which is recommended for adolescents 16-23 years old. There are two types of meningitis vaccines – MenACWY and MenB. Few have received the MenB vaccine, yet it’s responsible for 100% of meningococcal meningitis outbreaks on college campuses since 2011. One issue? A lack of communication from pediatricians and family physicians. A recent study found that 49% of pediatricians and 69% of family physicians did not discuss the MenB vaccine during routine visits for 16-18-year-olds. That’s one reason why research shows that nearly 80% of parents did not know about the MenB vaccine, and why more than 78.2% of 17-year-olds have not received at least one dose of the Meningitis B vaccine. As kids head back to school, it’s important that parents take the time to check what vaccinations their teens and young adults have received and proactively talk to their healthcare provider about what other vaccines they need – including both the MenACWY and MenB meningitis vaccines.

New York Times-Acclaimed Podcast Partners With Native Coffee Roaster on New Coffee Line

UNFTR

“ Unf*cking The Republic (UNFTR),” one of the fastest-growing political podcasts in the United States, is excited to announce a unique partnership with Native Coffee Traders of the Unkechaug Nation, giving UNFTR’s loyal listeners a new way to simultaneously support the show and the Indigenous community. The collaboration with the Poospatuck Reservation-based roaster reflects one of UNFTR’s core missions: raising awareness and promoting economic development in underserved and oft-neglected communities. UNFTR is offering a selection of 100% Fair Trade and Certified Organic coffee roasted and hand-packaged by Native Coffee Traders, owned and operated by members of the Unkechaug Nation on the Poospatuck Reservation in Mastic, New York. They include Unf*ck Your Morning, Unf*ck Your Afternoon and A Decaffeinated Unf*cking. There’s Unf*cking good coffee for anyone. “The goal was to create a funding mechanism that doesn’t require the withholding of important content for premium subscriptions or asking listeners to come out of pocket for something new,” says UNFTR’s host, who simply goes by “Max.” “So we tell our listeners that if they drink coffee, great. Then just buy this coffee. If not, no worries,” he continues. “We’re still going to put out high-quality weekly content for everyone to enjoy, either way.” The UNFTR-Native Coffee Traders partnership comes as the podcast has quickly established itself as required listening for anyone trying to better understand America’s widely discussed but often misunderstood political landscape. In April, it was selected by The New York Times as one of the top podcasts to “help make sense of Post-Trump America”—a list that included such podcast heavyweights as Slate’s “Political Gabfest” and “Pod Save America.” As the paper put it: “If you like your political commentary cynical but not embittered, this relatively new podcast may hit the spot. Beginning in the run-up to the 2020 election, ‘Unf*cking the Republic’ delivers audio essays that are consistently compelling and educational, aiming to challenge conventional wisdom and upend the historical narratives that we’re taught in school.” Indigenous issues are core to the mission of UNFTR, with one of their top episodes—and the one suggested by the NYT —titled “ Culture Cancel: The American Holocaust.” “When Native Coffee Traders accepted the offer to become the official coffee roaster for the Unf*cking coffee brand, both parties made decisions and choices based on what is right, what is best, and what is valued most highly,” explains Harry Wallace, chief of the Unkechaug people and founder of Native Coffee Traders. “Native Coffee Traders as a whole is committed to supplying quality coffee and supporting the efforts of the organic farmers,” he continues. “We purchase organic, fair trade green beans from Native farmers in South and Central America and roast them ourselves on our Native Territories here on Long Island, New York. This allows us to offer Native Coffee at prices competitive to or less than commercial coffees. “Building a partnership with UNFTR continues to grow our small coffee business,” adds Chief Wallace. “It helps to create job opportunities for our people in management, production, marketing, and sales. As a Native American Coffee Roaster, my work serves a purpose.” UNFTR launched in October 2020, and has skyrocketed up the charts in the United States and Canada. It has collaborated with other stalwart political podcasts and like-minded media organizations, such as “The Young Turks,” “The David Pakman Show,” “Best of the Left,” “Canadaland,” and “News Beat.” “For years, Native Coffee Traders has been supplying the surrounding community with these outstanding blends and supporting other Native roasters,” says Chief Wallace. “We're excited to bring our distinct roasted blends to a new audience around the nation through our partnership with UNFTR. “We appreciate UNFTR's commitment to the fair trade and organic process, as well as Indigenous economic development,” he adds. “It's vital to our members that we partner with people who respect our culture and our dedication to the highest environmental and roasting standards.” Purchase these extraordinary coffee selections at unftr.com/shop, and subscribe to the podcast by searching UNFTR in your podcast app, or going to unftr.com/subscribe.

President Zelensky of Ukraine pays tribute to the Babyn Yar massacre victims at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center

Today President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine honored the victims of the Babyn Yar massacre of World War II during his visit to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. “Victims of the Holocaust were at least six million Jews. Among them - one and a half million, one in four from Ukraine," said President Zelensky and shared the story of his own family members who died in the Holocaust. "There were four brothers. Three of them, as well as their parents, wives, children, and all relatives, were shot by the German occupiers who invaded Ukraine. The fourth brother was at the front lines at the time. He went through World War II, contributed to the victory over Nazism and returned home four years later. Two years later he had a son, 31 years later - a grandson, and 40 years later his grandson became president of Ukraine. Now he is in front of you," the head of state said. President Zelensky visited the Holocaust Memorial Museum alongside prominent leaders of major Jewish organizations in the United States. "Over two days on 29-30 of September 1941, the Nazis killed nearly 34,000 people in Babyn Yar. Over the next two years, according to various estimates, up to 200,000 people. It is our undisputed duty to honor their memory. Unfortunately, for a long time, this was not obvious. In Soviet times, a sports complex and shooting range were built there. And since 1991, Babyn Yar has become not a place of memory, but a place of oblivion. We have been actively changing this for the last two years. At the end of 2020, I signed the Decree "On measures for the further development of the National Historical and Memorial Reserve 'Babyn Yar.'" This memorial complex is a cure for historical complexes." "Conceptually new objects have already been created there, which tell the story of the tragedy in the modern language of modern technologies for modern generations,” shared President Zelensky. Babyn Yar has become a powerful symbol of the 'Holocaust by Bullets,' the estimated 2.5 million Jews who were murdered near their homes in similar Nazi mass shootings across Eastern Europe, 1.5 million of them in Ukraine alone. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Babyn Yar massacre. Human rights activist Natan Sharansky, Chair of the supervisory board of the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center, stated, “ Now is the time to right the historic wrong of Babyn Yar, for the sake of Ukraine, the Jewish communities and the world. The untold stories of these victims must be shared, and this year we will honor their memories to ensure history is not repeated.” Commemorations will culminate in a formal event including global leaders on Oct. 6, 2021, at the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center in Kyiv, Ukraine. About the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center The Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center is a non-governmental charity whose purpose is to preserve and cultivate the memory of the Holocaust and the Babyn Yar tragedy in Ukraine by turning the Babyn Yar area into a place of remembrance. The Foundation's mission is to worthily honor the memory of the victims of the tragedy and to contribute to the humanization of society through preserving and studying the history of the Holocaust.

Pet Insurance and the Pandemic

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/9KdDYhsia2A Amid the pandemic last year, more than 2 million dogs and cats were adopted from shelters. Now, as employees across the U.S. anticipate a potential return to in-person work, pet parents have some concerns about how the transition may impact both their animals’ and their own well-being. In fact, MetLife’s new Pet Parent Pulse Survey found that three in four (74 percent) working pet parents are considering how pet care during this time may impact their finances, while nearly all (95 percent) anticipate that a possible transition back to the office will cause a change in their pet’s health or routine. If you are a working pet parent, what do you need to know and prepare for during this time? “It may be as simple as making some changes at home, like introducing a crate or a gate to keep your pet safe and healthy. Alternatively, maybe pet care or ‘doggy daycare’ services make sense for you,” said Katie Blakeley, vice president and head of pet insurance, MetLife. “Many pet parents are also leaning on their employers to help them navigate the return to office and how it may effect their furry family members. For example, introducing pet health insurance into a voluntary benefit plan is becoming a popular option for many working pet parents.” For more information visit: metlife.com/insurance/pet-insurance About MetLife: MetLife, Inc.
