A ‘vaccine-plus’ approach to omicron

Omicron is driving the surge in new infections of the coronavirus around the world. Public health colleagues across the globe have been calling for a robust “vaccine-plus” strategy to meet the current moment. And Sudan’s pro-democracy revolution has taken a heavy toll on civil society. Activists say more than 200 people have been killed by security forces in recent years and that this is the reason why anti-military protests will continue. Plus, a security camera has captured the moment when a real deer attacked a fake Rudolph featured in a holiday scene on a couple’s lawn in Fort Nelson, in northern British Columbia.
