Veggie Tales

Why I am talking about vegetables and specifically broccoli?

Veggie Tales is an American Christian animation project created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki. The computer-generated show features various fruits and vegetables that retell stories from the Bible. I loved watching these features with my daughter when she was a child and I remember singing some of the silly songs in the car.

Overboard

The idiom “to go overboard” is used to describe a person who does something that is excessive or extreme. An example would be a person going overboard to prepare food for a party or spending an excessive amount of money on an item. Some may remember the 1987 romantic comedy Overboard that starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The movie was a box office success and can still be seen on television. A 2018 remake of Overboard starred Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez that reversed the roles of the original movie. Others may remember Adam Sandler’s movie in 1989 titled Going Overboard about a struggling comedian who works on a cruise ship.

So, why am I discussing going overboard as it relates to COVID-19? The FDA cleared the way for a third, fourth, and fifth booster dose for the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

Allen County Public Health has issued the following update:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently updated its recommendations to allow certain people who are immunocompromised and people age 50 and older to get another Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech booster at least 4 months after their last dose to increase their protection against severe disease from COVID-19.  In addition, adults who received their first vaccine and booster of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least 4 months ago may also receive a second booster dose using the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
