Massachusetts Interim COVID-19 Vaccination Plan
From the Introduction: "The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) leads the planning, distribution, and implementation efforts of the Massachusetts COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] Vaccination Program (MCVP). The MCVP will build on the Department's experience and strong existing foundation, which currently supports the distribution of over 3 million doses of vaccine annually to more than 1,000 health care provider sites. MDPH launched its internal COVID-19 Vaccine Planning Structure on August 13, 2020, engaged critical partners across MDPH, and identified external partners to guide this effort to ensure all Massachusetts citizens have access to COVID-19 vaccine in a safe and timely manner. On October 7, 2020, the Baker-Polito Administration announced a COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Group to inform MDPH's planning to distribute a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. This work will be conducted with an equity lens to ensure distribution to the critical populations considered most vulnerable. Planning will include coordination with the federally-recognized Tribal Nations."

Nevada Interim COVID-19 Vaccination Plan
From the Introduction: "Immunization with a safe and effective COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] vaccine is a critical component of the strategy to reduce COVID-19-related illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths and to help restore societal functioning. The goal of the State of Nevada is to have enough COVID-19 vaccine for all people who wish to be vaccinated. Early on, there may be a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine, and vaccination efforts may focus on those who are critical to the COVID-19 pandemic response, providing direct care, and maintaining societal function, as well as those at highest risk for developing severe illness. This document serves as the Playbook for Nevada, statewide local public health programs, and related public health and emergency management partners on how the state has planned and will operationalize a vaccination response to COVID-19, including how Nevada will order, store, distribute, track, promote, and administer the COVID-19 Vaccination Program."

Texas Interim COVID-19 Vaccination Plan
From the Introduction: "Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) will manage COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] vaccine distribution in accordance with the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). To build a robust base of providers, DSHS will initiate an outreach campaign to potential COVID-19 vaccine providers. It is estimated that up to 14,000 providers across Texas may register to order and provide COVID-19 vaccine. Texas DSHS will seek to direct vaccine in the manner that best reaches recommended target groups while recognizing there may be more than one reasonable approach to doing so. This effort may still leave gaps in vaccination services for certain high-risk individuals or groups, and the state will plan to fill such gaps using vaccine strike teams. In addition, Texas recognizes that vaccine hesitancy presents a significant challenge to optimal uptake of COVID-19 vaccines as they become available. Assuring vaccine confidence in our communities by sharing credible and accurate information will be a key activity."

U.S. Virgin Islands Interim COVID-19 Vaccination Plan
From the Introduction: "Since March 2020, the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) Department of Health (VIDOH) has led a multisector response to the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic in the territory. Given the unknowns with vaccine planning, VIDOH's COVID-19 vaccination plan is being designed to be flexible and accommodating to multiple scenarios - ranging from an early vaccine campaign start as well as delays in production and distribution. The plan is also designed to align with the Vaccinate with Confidence Framework and build on existing commitments to community stakeholder engagement. While some challenges have been identified, VIDOH is confident of overcoming these issues through well-established relationships with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and abundance of local champions in the USVI. This approach will ensure VIDOH is able to administer vaccines across the major islands of St. Thomas, Water Island, St. John, and St. Croix and achieve the highest vaccine coverage possible."

North Dakota Interim COVID-19 Vaccination Plan
From the Introduction: "A safe and effective COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] vaccine(s) will be critical to preventing and reducing morbidity, severity, and mortality associated with COVID-19 in North Dakota. When a large proportion of the population has immunity to a virus (community immunity), a virus is less likely to spread. The safest way to achieve community immunity is through vaccination. Internal planning for a future COVID-19 vaccine started in May 2020. In August 2020, North Dakota was selected as a pilot site for enhanced planning with the federal government. In early September, planning expanded to include external stakeholders (i.e., long term care, pharmacies, tribes, corrections, universities, local public health, etc.). A draft plan for prioritization, allocation, distribution, administration, and reporting of a future COVID-19 vaccine was submitted to the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] on October 16, 2020. Although this plan will require updates as new information is available, creation and partial implementation of this plan are needed now for resource acquisition and allocation, and testing of vaccination methods across the state."

Oregon Interim COVID-19 Vaccination Plan
From the Introduction: "Oregon's COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] Vaccine Plan is an opportunity to reimagine how the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) engages communities in public health and to allocate and distribute COVID-19 vaccine in a way that is grounded in a commitment to health equity. The vaccine plan represents a starting point for the iterative, responsive work of co-creating this strategy in partnership with communities most impacted by longstanding health inequities and disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. The agency is building a COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee representative of those disproportionately affected by the pandemic, to integrate communities in establishing priorities, processes and desired outcomes. As this process moves forward, the vaccination plan will change to better meet the needs of people in Oregon and begin to address longstanding health inequities."

Polling Locations and Voters
From the Document: "The more an individual interacts with others, and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] spread. Elections with only in-person voting on a single day are higher risk for COVID-19 spread because there will be larger crowds and longer wait times. Lower risk election polling settings include those with: [1] a wide variety of voting options; [2] longer voting periods (more days and/or more hours); [3] any other feasible options for reducing the number of voters who congregate indoors in polling locations at the same time. The virus that causes COVID-19, is mostly spread by respiratory droplets released when people talk, cough, or sneeze. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. Personal prevention practices (such as handwashing, staying home when sick) and environmental cleaning and disinfection are important actions election ocials, poll workers, and voters can take to help lower the risk of COVID-19 spread."

New START Treaty: Central Limits and Key Provisions [Updated October 23, 2020]
From the Summary: "The United States and Russia signed the New START [Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty] Treaty on April 8, 2010. After more than 20 hearings, the U.S. Senate gave its advice and consent to ratification on December 22, 2010, by a vote of 71-26. Both houses of the Russian parliament--the Duma and Federation Council--approved the treaty in late January 2011 and it entered into force on February 5, 2011. Both parties met the treaty's requirement to complete the reductions by February 5, 2018. The treaty is due to expire in February 2021, unless both parties agree to extend it for no more than five years. New START provides the parties with 7 years to reduce their forces, and will remain in force for a total of 10 years. It limits each side to no more than 800 deployed and nondeployed land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) launchers and deployed and nondeployed heavy bombers equipped to carry nuclear armaments. Within that total, each side can retain no more than 700 deployed ICBMs, deployed SLBMs, and deployed heavy bombers equipped to carry nuclear armaments. The treaty also limits each side to no more than 1,550 deployed warheads; those are the actual number of warheads on deployed ICBMs and SLBMs, and one warhead for each deployed heavy bomber."

Google Antitrust Lawsuit: Initial Observations [October 23, 2020]
From the Document: "On October 20, 2020, the Department of Justice and eleven Republican state attorneys general (hereinafter 'DOJ') filed a long-anticipated antitrust lawsuit against Google, alleging that the tech giant has unlawfully monopolized the markets for general internet search services and search advertising. The complaint follows an investigation of 'Big Tech' platforms that the DOJ launched last summer and represents the Department's most significant antitrust case since the Microsoft litigation that began over twenty years ago. The lawsuit also implicates an area of intense congressional interest: earlier this month, the House Antitrust Subcommittee released a report concluding that major tech companies--including Google--have engaged in exclusionary conduct that violates the antitrust laws. This Legal Sidebar provides an overview of the Justice Department's allegations and offers initial observations on their relationship to existing antitrust doctrine."
