La tormenta solar que impacta directamente hoy en la Tierra y las peligrosas consecuencias que puede tener | Life

noticias /tecnologia/tormenta-solar-podria-destruir-completo- internet -924899" target="_blank" title="Una tormenta solar podría destruir por completo internet ">Las tormentas solares no son nuevas, ni mucho menos. Nuestro planeta Tierra lleva aguantándolas los últimos cientos de millones de años. Y, de alguna forma, el planeta ha aprendido a anularlas a través polos magnéticos y otros mecanismos físicos.

Pese a que parezca ciencia ficción, la capacidad de la Tierra de anular estas tormentas son las que han permitido la vida en el planeta, de lo contrario la radiación habría imposibilitado que los organismo del principio hubiesen comenzado su periplo de millones de años de evolución.

Pues bien, una vez que hemos relativizado la importancia de estas tormentas, vamos con la noticia que nos ocupa. noticias /life/alertan-llamarada-solar-pocos-dias-golpeara-tierra-provocando-tormenta-geomagnetica-1071787" target="_blank" title="Alertan de una llamarada solar en pocos días que golpeará la Tierra provocando una tormenta geomagnética">Una experta en meteorología espacial afirma que una intensa tormenta solar se dirige directamente hacia la Tierra.

Direct Hit! A snake-like filament launched as a big #solarstorm while in the Earth-strike zone. NASA predicts impact early July 19. Strong #aurora shows possible with this one, deep into mid-latitudes. Amateur #radio & #GPS users expect signal disruptions on Earth's nightside. pic.twitter.com/7FHgS63xiU

La Dra. Tamitha Skov compartió un tuit el 16 de julio advirtiendo de la tormenta solar que se dirige a la Tierra. Se espera que la tormenta llegue el martes 19 de julio y podría causar apagones... de radio.

Como ocurre con cualquier erupción solar, la velocidad de las partículas puede variar, cambiando así el tiempo que tarda en llegar a nuestro planeta.

La Dra. Skov señala que la erupción en el Sol tuvo una forma muy similar a la de una serpiente, e incluso se puede ver el filamento en un tuit secundario que compartió.

Actualmente, no parece haber ninguna mención de esta erupción en particular en los canales oficiales de la NASA. Sin embargo, la fuente es de fiar, ya que la Dra. Skov ha trabajado anteriormente con la NASA, el canales meteorológicos, PopSci, etc.

[CH] El Sol, más cerca que nunca

Debido a que se espera que la tormenta solar que se dirige a la Tierra interactúe directamente con el campo magnético terrestre, los amantes de la radio y los usuarios de las apps GPS deberían esperar algunas interrupciones de la señal en el lado nocturno de la Tierra, señala la doctora.

Además, es posible que haya una fuerte presencia de auroras. Por ello, los aficionados a observar del cielo deberían reservar más tiempo hoy martes para buscar estos fenómenos.

Esta es la última de una larga serie de erupciones solares que han sacudido al Sol en las últimas semanas. El Sol, que funciona con un ciclo de 11 años, está alcanzando ahora el máximo de ese ciclo.

Como resultado, el número de erupciones solares ha aumentado. Con ese aumento aumenta la posibilidad de que esas erupciones solares creen tormentas solares que se dirijan a la Tierra.

Tesla pierde al gran impulsor del Autopilot e IA de sus coches y lo ello que implica | Tecnología

Como bien sabes, el Autopilot de Tesla lleva dando titulares desde 2018. Al principio todos eran muy positivos: nunca habíamos visto un coche conducirse solo en plena autovía. noticias /motor/elon-musk-teletrabajo-tesla-empleados-sin-aparcamientos-mesas-ni-wifi-1084275" target="_blank" title="Elon Musk prohibió el teletrabajo en Tesla, y ahora los empleados no tienen aparcamientos, mesas ni WiFi para todos">Por desgracia para Elon Musk, CEO de la empresa, desde hace un par de años todas las noticias son negativas.

Que si accidentes mortales, que si malas tomas de decisión que terminan en tragedia... y no son ni uno ni dos los casos, son decenas. noticias /motor/dgt-americana-estudia-retirada-800000-vehiculos-tesla-mercado-problemas-software-autopilot-1076427" target="_blank" title="La DGT americana estudia la retirada de 800.000 vehículos Tesla del mercado por problemas con su software Autopilot">Tantos que la administración competente en EE. UU. está investigando en profundidad a la empresa.

Y, hablando de Autopilot, hoy nos hemos enterado de que Tesla no contará más con su ingeniero jefe de la división de conducción autónoma. ¿Es esto una buena o una mala noticia?

It's been a great pleasure to help Tesla towards its goals over the last 5 years and a difficult decision to part ways. In that time, Autopilot graduated from lane keeping to city streets and I look forward to seeing the exceptionally strong Autopilot team continue that momentum.

Andrej Karpathy, jefe de inteligencia artificial de Tesla y líder del equipo de Autopilot de la compañía, deja la empresa. Así lo anunció ayer miércoles a través de sus redes sociales .

"Ha sido un gran placer ayudar a Tesla a alcanzar sus objetivos durante los últimos 5 años y una decisión difícil separarse. En ese tiempo, Autopilot pasó de mantener el carril a las calles de la ciudad y espero ver al excepcionalmente fuerte equipo de Autopilot continuar con ese impulso", escribió.

Karpathy agregó que no tiene planes para lo que viene, pero está buscando seguir "el trabajo técnico en la IA, el código abierto y la educación." Elon Musk respondió en Twitter agradeciendo a Karpathy su trabajo en la empresa.

¿Se puede viajar con un Tesla Model 3 sin previsión alguna de viaje?

La salida no es del todo sorprendente, dado que Karpathy se tomó un año sabático de cuatro meses en marzo, en un momento en el que Tesla estaba luchando por lanzar finalmente el conjunto de características de conducción autónoma completa (FSD) en sus vehículos.

Tesla comenzó a ofrecer FSD, que se basa en el conjunto de características de Autopilot para ofrecer una conducción casi autónoma, como beta limitada en octubre de 2020, y lo amplió a una base de usuarios ligeramente más amplia en diciembre de 2021.

Desde entonces, noticias /tecnologia/elon-musk-promete-conduccion-autonoma-nivel-3-tesla-europa-verano-completa-eeuu-1041889" target="_blank" title="Elon Musk promete la conducción autónoma nivel 3 en sus Tesla en Europa este verano y completa en EE.UU.">Musk no ha dejado de prometer un despliegue más amplio, pero sigue retrasándose, y problemas como el frenado fantasma y los accidentes de vehículos Tesla mientras el Autopilot estaba activado no ayudan.

Winter continues to cause emergencies in Nariño - Other Cities - Colombia

A worker and an official were very close to being buried by a landslide caused by the strong winter, on the access road to the municipality of Santacruz, west of Nariño.

The incident occurred on the afternoon of this Saturday when a yellow machine was attending to a landslide and part of the mountain suddenly fell off, in the midst of fright for those who at that time were attending to the emergency caused by the prolonged winter wave that hits the entire the region.

The governor of Nariño, Jhon Rojas Cabrera, reported that a machinist from the Governor’s Office and the planning secretary of the Mayor’s Office “They were devastated by an earth movement, thank God they are alive but I want to call the community to common sense and understanding because the rainy phenomenon has been coming since last year and will last until May.”

The machine with which he was working to clear the road that leads from the Balalaika sector in the municipality of Samaniego to the municipality of Santacruz was buried by the landslide.

Both the operator and the official had to be transferred to the hospital in the municipality of Túquerres, where they received medical attention.

According to the sectional president, it was necessary to make the decision to close the access road to the municipal seat of Guachavez to automobile traffic, “after analyzing the risks that the road presents and after new landslides that have occurred in the last few hours.”

(You may be interested in: ‘Mano, we are trapped’, last voice of two disappeared in Pance)

He also declared that “we will work with the Mayor’s Office and the community to enable alternate routes and thus the municipality is not left incommunicado.”

Meanwhile, the port of Tumaco is going to be completed in almost two days, isolated from the rest of the department of Nariño, due to a large landslide that occurred on Friday on the road to the sea, near the municipality of Mallama, where the secretary of Government, Bayron Oliva, pointed out that the machinery works to evacuate the tons of earth and stone, but as the rains continue it is believed that only this Sunday the passage of vehicles on the highway could be enabled.

The situation is aggravated for patients who are transferred in ambulances from the San Andrés Hospital in Tumaco to the city of Pasto.

According to the revelation of the Special Intervention Agent of the hospital center, Pedro Espitia, “it is an immense rock the size of a house that has fallen on the road, it is not easy to remove it, this affects the evacuation of our patients, here we have two ambulances who have not been able to pass and we have two patients who require an immediate evacuation due to their health situation.”

Two houses destroyed

During the early hours of this Saturday, the winter also destroyed two houses when they were buried by a landslide, registered in the sector known as Pachindo, on the road that leads from the municipality of La Florida to the town of Sandoná, west of Nariño, where the authorities reported that two people were injured with head trauma. Mobility along the highway was suspended until the total evacuation of the land is carried out.

Another emergency affected this Saturday the sanctuary of Our Lady of La Playa in the municipality of San Pablo, where fortunately there were no fatalities or injuries, but there was considerable material damage.

(Keep reading: ‘Women meet to talk about life in the Cali River’)

The presbyter of the parish of San Pablo, Juan Gabriel, said that “thank God it has not happened to majors, a quantity of earth fell on the side of the sanctuary, also at the entrance there is a small slip, we have to remain very united ”.

The mayor of San Pablo, Ricardo Gómez, at the beginning of last February, had warned that the temple, which is very crowded on weekends by inhabitants of the departments of Nariño and Cauca, registered an instability of the land where it was built, so the risk was considered higher.

A commission from the Secretariat of Infrastructure of the Government of Nariño had traveled to that place in order to assess the situation and take the necessary measures.

It should be remembered that on February 2, EPM had announced that on July 26 the first turbine would be put into operation, but On February 21, the CC Consortium released a letter indicating that the schedules were not adjusted to the date announced by EPM.

Ukrainian Woman Weds Chicago Fiancé Ahead Of Return Home

CHICAGO — 

When Russia invaded her home country of Ukraine, Maria decided she had to get there and help defend it — even if it meant leaving her fiancé behind in Chicago days after getting married.

Maria and her fiancé, David, married Saturday before about 20 people in the backyard of an Oak Park home — the venue offered last minute after Maria asked for advice in a neighborhood Facebook group. The couple met last year and got engaged in October.

On Monday, she plans to fly to Poland, then make her way to the Ukrainian border, ultimately aiming to volunteer to fight for her home country.

“People are running out of there and she is running in,” said a friend at the wedding, Pamela Chinchilla of Lombard.

Seven guests at the wedding brought medical supplies, masks and other items for Maria to take to Ukraine. People hugged each other, and Maria at one point spoke with family members in Odesa.

Maria, who asked that her last name not be published because she fears for her family’s safety in Ukraine and the U.S., said she lived with her parents in Kyiv until 1991 when the family moved to Poland.

For Maria, a previous marriage ended in divorce. She met her ex-husband while studying music in Austria and more than 20 years ago they moved to his hometown of Chicago — which has the second-largest Ukrainian-born population among U.S. cities.

Since the war began, she used messages and calls through Facebook to keep in touch with her parents, who have been sheltering in a parking garage during attacks on Ukraine’s largest port city of Odesa. But she said she has been unable to reach cousins in Kyiv in recent days.

Pamela Chinchilla looks through donations before Maria and David get married at a home, March 5, 2022, in Oak Park, Ill.

Three days into the invasion, Maria made up her mind to return to Ukraine, determined to find some way to be useful. She said she doesn’t have medical or military training but worries that a Russian takeover of Ukraine will embolden the country to threaten more places around the world.

“I have to go,” Maria, 44, said. “I can’t do protests or fundraising or wave flags. We’ve done this since 2015, Ukrainians, and I just can’t do it anymore.”

Her fiancé refused to stay behind despite Maria’s resistance to him accompanying her. But since David first needs to apply for a passport, she plans to leave Monday and wait in Poland before crossing the border.

“He knows how stubborn I am and knew he’d have no chance to convince me otherwise,” Maria said.

David, 42, said he feels a responsibility to do what he can to keep her safe.

“Because complacency and compliance are pretty much the same thing,” he said. “And you can only turn a blind eye to people being bullied for so long. And if it happens to them, it might be you next.”

He also asked that his last name not be published to avoid endangering Maria’s family.

Ukraine’s forces are outnumbered and outgunned, but their resistance did prevent a swift Russian victory. Ukrainian leaders called on citizens to join in guerrilla war this week as Russian forces gained ground on the coast and took over one major port city.

Associated Press reporters at the border checkpoint in Medyka in southeastern Poland found Ukrainians lining up to return from other countries in Europe in recent days in response to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s call for volunteers to come assist the country’s military.

The White House has since urged Americans not to travel to Ukraine, but Maria and David said that didn’t change their plans.

Newlywed Maria toasts with friends during her wedding ceremony at a home, March 5, 2022, in Oak Park, Ill.

The couple had planned to be married at a courthouse on March 5, a nod to Maria’s grandmother’s birthday.

After deciding they would try to reach Ukraine, they accepted the offer to hold a backyard celebration. They also asked people to purchase items needed by Ukrainian troops through an Amazon list that includes rain ponchos, medical supplies and boots rather than wedding gifts.

Maria said she’s not certain what she will have to do after arriving at the Polish border with Ukraine; friends who live near border crossings have told her it’s taking days to get through. Her parents also questioned her decision to volunteer, she said, because they don’t want to be worried about her safety on top of their own.

“If the army doesn’t take us, we’ll be as close as possible,” Maria said Wednesday. “There’s always a need for volunteers. I’m pretty strong, I’m not afraid of blood, I’m good under pressure.”

Natalia Blauvelt, a Chicago immigration attorney who has assisted dozens of clients trying to help family leave Ukraine and Russia in recent weeks, said she hasn’t heard of others seeking to get into Ukraine in order to join the country’s defense.

But she advised that anyone considering it contact the Ukrainian Embassy in the U.S. and speak with an immigration attorney to talk through plans for returning to the U.S.

Vaccination in Medellín against covid-19 after one year - Medellín - Colombia

At 7:13 a.m. on Thursday, February 18, 2021, Alba Rocío Montoya, a nursing assistant at the Medellín General Hospital, was vaccinated against covid-19.

This 58-year-old woman was the first person immunized in the capital of Antioquia and, a year later, another 4,518,739 doses were applied in the city (with a cutoff date of February 25, 2022), which shows a good response of citizenship to vaccination.

(You may be interested in: They seize security cameras from combos in Bello, Antioquia)

“This year many things have happened. In addition, I feel a certain peace of mind because it has not given me covid-19 And, apart from that, I also work in special care and intensive care, which are the services where covid-19 patients are managed. It is a social responsibility that each one of us has to have, I also feel calm that being vaccinated with the three doses, this decreases the probability of getting sick if I get covid-19, “said Alba Rocío.

In a city of just over 2.6 million inhabitants, 1,987,242 already have the complete scheme, which is equivalent to approximately 76.4% of the population, which means that the city exceeds the minimum required ( 70%) by the Ministry of Health to remove the mandatory use of masks in public spaces.

In other figures, 1,959,916 have received the first dose1,617,222 for the second, 571,582 for the booster dose and 370,020 for the single dose.

With this, according to the mayor’s office, 90% of execution of the vaccination plan is reached.

Alba Rocío Montoya, the first to be vaccinated in Medellín.

“The figures show the high efficiency of this process, the reduction in mortality, in intensive care units (ICU) and in general in all clinical conditions, it is evident that administering at least one dose responds and copes with these conditions. critics that can be presented”, expressed the Secretary of Health of Medellín, Andree Uribe. But then was the so-called herd immunity achieved? The Secretary of Health explained that this – better known as herd immunity – does not depend on a specific percentage.

“However, the Ministry of Health estimated that having around 70% vaccination coverage could achieve this status. In Medellin, 70% was achieved on December 3 of last year, however, let us remember that the last peak began on December 28 of that year,” said Uribe.

For her part, Yessica Giraldo, an epidemiologist and professor at CES University, said that there is increasing evidence that this concept practically does not apply due to the mutation capacity of the coronavirus.

“The characteristics of this virus have shown such a different behavior that it revalues ​​this whole concept, which was extrapolated from other viruses, so we can say that today, Herd immunity is a rather imprecise and inexact concept to consider it as a strategy to face this pandemic”, expressed the doctor.

Giraldo added that the appearance of the omicron variant changed the landscape, since said collective immunity is something probabilistic that is calculated depending on the reproduction rate of the virus, since if it increases, the percentage of vaccinated people immediately increases as well.

“In the case of omicron, it was calculated that between 85% and 95% of vaccinated people would be needed, but this in the context of a highly effective vaccination, and this variable has increased the probability of reinfection. In other words, despite being vaccinated, it can give you covid and it can give you again,” Giraldo said.

For the Mayor’s Office, The main difficulties that citizens have encountered when getting vaccinated have been reasons such as schedule incompatibility, geographical access or mobility. For this, it adapted strategies such as extramural actions, house-to-house vaccination, in parks, events, bike paths, among others.

China Boosts Military Spending Amid Ukraine Uncertainties

New Delhi — 

China has decided to raise its defense spending by 7.1%, which is the largest increase since 2019. The rise is significant because the country’s economy is expected to grow this year at the lowest level in decades at 5.5%.

China’s defense spending is being carefully watched around the world in view of the atmosphere of political uncertainties caused by the Ukraine war. China has refused to pick sides or condemn the Russian attack. Some experts believe China will look for opportunities to invade Taiwan. Beijing regards Taiwan as a rogue province and has often indicated plans to take it over by force.

“While the world’s attention is diverted to Ukraine, an escalation across the Taiwan Straits, in the South China Sea and along the disputed Himalayan borders with India cannot be ruled out,” Mohan Malik, visiting fellow at the Washington-based Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies (NESA) told VOA.

“For the Indo-Pacific, this is indeed the decade of living dangerously,” he said.

China will spend $229.47 billion on defense this year, according to estimates presented to the National People’s Congress, the Chinese parliament, by the country’s premier, Li Keqiang. Its defense budget rose 6.8% in 2021 and 6.6% in 2020.

Analysts said that the actual expenditure will be in the region of $270 billion, and a lot more would be spent on military-related infrastructure, like border roads that are shown under non-defense headings in the budget.

“We will enhance military training and combat readiness, stay firm and flexible in carrying out our military struggle, and safeguard China’s sovereignty, security and development interests,” Li said.

Making a strong case for the higher defense expenditure, Li said, “Government at all levels must give strong support to the development of national defense and the armed forces, so unity between the military and government and between the military and the people will remain rock solid.” He emphasizes the need to modernize the military’s logistics and build a modern weaponry and equipment management system.

China, which has two aircraft carriers, plans to invest in two more. It has engaged in a sea rivalry with the U.S. Navy, which has 11 of them. The U.S.-China rivalry is evident because the U.S. sent aircraft carrier strike groups and amphibious groups into the South China Sea 13 times last year, according to Beijing-based research group the South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative.

The Reuters news agency quoted Fu Qianshao, a retired Chinese air force equipment specialist, as saying, “Equipment is needed to fill performance gaps, and aircraft carriers, large warships, stealth fighters, third and fourth generations of tanks are expensive.”

Analysts said China is now forced to spend more on defense-related research and development because the U.S. is cutting off the flow of technology and there are similar actions in some European countries.

China may also reconsider planned arms purchases from Russia, including the proposed acquisition of Ka-52 attack helicopters, because the performance of Russian weapons in Ukraine has reportedly disappointed many arms experts.

A major area of focus is China’s military behavior in its neighborhood. Most of the country’s neighbors, including countries around the South China Sea, feel threatened by the rise in the strength of the People’s Liberation Army, which represents the land army, the navy and the air force.

Malik said China now spends more on its military than the combined military expenditures of Russia, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, India and Australia. That is significant because China is engaged in military disputes with Japan and India and wants to take over Taiwan.

“The growing power gap and military buildup in Asia doesn’t bode well for regional peace and stability at a time of heightened tensions over unresolved territorial and maritime disputes,” he said.

As Vaccine Demand Falls, US States Left With Huge Stockpile

As demand for COVID-19 vaccines collapses in many areas of the U.S., states are scrambling to use stockpiles of doses before they expire and have to be added to the millions that have already gone to waste.

From some of the least vaccinated states, like Indiana and North Dakota, to some of the most vaccinated states, like New Jersey and Vermont, public health departments are shuffling doses around in the hopes of finding providers that can use them.

State health departments told The Associated Press they have tracked millions of doses that went to waste, including ones that expired, were in a multi-dose vial that couldn’t be used completely or had to be tossed for some other reason like temperature issues or broken vials.

Nearly 1.5 million doses in Michigan, 1.45 million in North Carolina, 1 million in Illinois and almost 725,000 doses in Washington couldn’t be used.

The percentage of wasted doses in California is only about 1.8%, but in a state that has received 84 million doses and administered more than 71 million of them, that equates to roughly 1.4 million doses. Providers there are asked to keep doses until they expire, then properly dispose of them, the California Department of Public Health said.

The national rate of wasted doses is about 9.5% of the more than 687 million doses that have been delivered as of late February, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. That equates to about 65 million doses.

The problem is not unique to the U.S. More than a million doses of the Russian Sputnik vaccine expired this week in Guatemala, because nobody wanted to take the shot.

Vaccination program managers say that tossing out doses is inevitable in any inoculation campaign because of the difficulty in aligning supply and demand for a product with a limited shelf life.

But the coronavirus pandemic has killed nearly 6 million people and shattered economies across the globe, and every dose that goes to waste feels like a missed opportunity considering how successful the vaccines are in preventing death and serious disease.

It also comes only about a year after people desperate to get the vaccine attempted to jump in line to get ahead of those deemed higher priority. Hospital board members, their trustees and donors around the U.S. got early access or offers for vaccinations, raising complaints about favoritism and inequity at a time when the developing world had virtually no doses.

And many poorer nations still have low vaccine rates, including 13 countries in Africa with less than 5% of their population fully vaccinated. T hey are plagued by unpredictable deliveries, weak health care systems, vaccine hesitancy and some supply issues, although health officials say inventory is markedly stronger than earlier in the pandemic.

In fact, supplies are so strong that the CDC now advises doctors that it’s OK to discard doses if it means opening up the standard multi-dose vials to vaccinate a single person and the rest has to be tossed.

“Pivoting to what’s happening now, you have much more production and distribution to low-income countries,” said Dr. Joseph Bresee, who directs the COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Program at the Task Force for Global Health in Decatur, Georgia. “The issue of some stockpiles in the U.S., Germany and Japan, that are not redistributed to sub-Saharan Africa, it’s less of an acute problem now because vaccine production and distribution is in high-gear right now serving those low-income countries.”

The Department of Health and Human Services also said that redistributing states’ excess doses to other nations is not feasible because of the difficulty in transporting the shots, which must remain cold, in addition to not being cost effective because of the relatively small number concentrated at sites.

Of the more than 687 million doses sent to states, 550 million to 600 million have been administered, HHS said Monday. The vaccines authorized in the U.S., made by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, can last for up to about six months from the time of manufacture.

A senior HHS official familiar with vaccine distribution plans took issue with the word “wastage,” saying it implies mismanagement when states are effectively overseeing their inventories. The CDC, however, uses the term “wastage” on its website and asks states to report their numbers.

The CDC said Thursday that the federal government, jurisdictions and vaccine providers have a strong partnership to get as many people vaccinated as possible while reducing vaccine wastage, and that the likelihood of leaving unused doses in a vial may increase as demand slows, even when providers continue to follow best practices to use every dose possible.

The fading demand comes as the pandemic itself wanes in the U.S. On Thursday, the CDC said about 90% of the U.S. population lives in counties where the risk of coronavirus is posing a low or medium threat — meaning residents don’t need to wear masks in most indoor settings. That was up from 70% last week.

The average number of Americans getting their first shot is down to about 70,000 a day, the lowest point since the U.S. vaccination campaign began in December 2020. About 76% of the U.S. population has received at least one shot and roughly 65% of all Americans are fully vaccinated.

With demand so low, states will undoubtedly be confronted with more waste in the months ahead, although they will benefit from any booster expansions.

Idaho, for example, has 230,000 doses on hand but is only averaging fewer than 2,000 doses administered a week.

Oregon’s vaccination rate is slightly higher than the national average, but the health authority there said last week that they have “significant excess vaccine on hand” because of the recent drop in demand. The state is trying to use up as many of the 716,000 doses in its inventory as possible.

Rhode Island has the highest percentage of residents who are fully vaccinated in the nation, at slightly more than 80%, but the health department reported having 137,000 doses on hand last week. Health officials say they need them for a big push to increase the vaccination rate for booster doses.

Health officials in some states have developed “matchmaker” programs to connect vaccine providers with excess doses with providers seeking doses. Many said they’re attempting to redistribute doses with expiration dates that are quickly approaching. New Jersey has a task force that has transferred more than 600,000 doses around the state since June. West Virginia has offered to transfer Pfizer adult doses to nearby states.

Immunization managers have been asking for single-dose vials, especially for pediatricians, but it may not work for manufacturers to package it that way yet, said Claire Hannan, executive director at the Association of Immunization Managers. She said wasting vaccine “just can’t be an issue.”

“We tell this to providers, but the most important thing is getting people vaccinated. And that’s hard when the demand goes down. You don’t have constant flow,” she said. “But that’s just a necessary evil I guess.”

HHS said states are ordering prudently, paralleling the drop in demand. The minimum order for Pfizer used to be nearly 1,200 doses but now it’s 100, and Moderna reduced the number of doses per vial, the agency said.

“Given what we’ve seen in terms of the number of people still unvaccinated, I do think finding any way to get the shot in arms, even at the expense of potential wastage, is still important,” said Katie Greene, an assistant research director at the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy.
