A
B
Well,
I
I
didn't
get
the
name
of
the
cicada,
it's
it's
still
at
large,
so
you
know,
there's
really
no
police
report
that
could
be
filed
and
civil
suit
may
be
a
possibility.
But
you
know
in
a
few
months
they're
going
to
be
gone
anyway
and
it
takes
17
years
to
file
again.
D
B
All
right
well,
so
I
think
we
have
everybody
here,
we'll
go
ahead
and
and
get
going
and
welcome
everybody
to
our
weekly
roundup,
of
everything
regarding
the
covid19
pandemic,
not
cicadas
in
the
city
of
bloomington
and
with
monroe
county
indiana
university
and
iu
health,
I'm
chuck
carney,
director
of
media
relations
for
indiana
university.
We
will
get
started
as
always
with
opening
statements.
We'll
go
first
to
mayor
john
hamilton.
C
Thanks
chuck-
and
thank
you,
everybody
I,
this
is
being
a
health
focused
call.
I
will
make
a
couple
quick
comments,
happy
pride
month
to
everybody
that
that
is
a
health
issue,
making
sure
we
support
and
affirm
all
all
aspects
of
pride
month
and
related
to
the
health
system.
C
Indeed,
too,
it's
also
national
gun
violence
awareness
day,
which
is
why
I'm
wearing
orange-
and
I
wanted
to
just
note
that
as
well
and
thank
folks
who
work
on
that
also
a
major
health
issue
in
our
community
in
our
country,
so
as
to
covet
the
quick
updates
from
the
city
454
of
our
employees
have
filed
for
the
wellness.
I
keep
giving
you
that
number
that
keeps
climbing
we're
pleased
with
that.
C
That's
over
half
of
our
regular
and
part-time
full-time
and
part-time
regular
employees
we'll
keep
offering
that
hundred
dollars
and
hope
folks
apply
for
that,
showing
they've
gotten
the
full
vaccination.
This
is
our
third
week
in
a
row
we're
pleased
with
no
positive
cases
among
our
1000
or
so
employees,
including
temporaries.
C
So
there's
some
good
things.
You
know
our
county
continues
in
blue
of
course,
but
it
is
significant
on
the
map.
If
you
look
there's
one
county
in
the
state,
that's
that's
in
at
a
two
rating,
there's
only
one
and
it's
our
neighbor
owen
county,
our
neighbor
to
the
south
lawrence
county
and
a
couple
of
its
neighbors
are
one
yellow,
as
opposed
to
the
orange
of
owen
county.
So
we
know
there's
still
concerns
we
hope
things
go
well
there
and
they
their
their
path,
affects
our
path
as
well.
The
the
state
numbers
are
improving.
C
C
I
want
to
end
this
week
with
special
thanks
to
iu
health.
Brian
shockney
you've
been
such
a
great
partner
through
all
this
through
the
past
16
months,
15
months.
C
We
appreciate
that
and
your
whole
system
statewide
made
a
major
and
very
important
step
recently
showing
leadership
and
showing
the
actions
that
keep
our
community
safe
by
requiring
vaccinations
of
employees
and
those
who
interact
with
patients.
I
know
you'll
get
the
exact
details.
I
don't
want
to
get
that
wrong,
but
that
announcement
is
makes
a
huge
impact
on
our
community.
C
A
huge
signal
of
a
leading
healthcare
organization
like
yours,
embracing
fully
how
we
win
this,
and
I
just
on
behalf
of
all
the
community
want
to
thank
you
and
all
of
your
colleagues
at
iu
health
for
taking
that
step.
It's
very
important,
very
impactful,
and
we
sincerely
appreciate
it
as
you've,
like
indiana
university,
has
done
made
that
commitment
so
happy
to
answer
questions
back
to
you,
chad,.
E
E
We
are
seeing
some
variants
in
the
community
approximately
about
40
of
the
samples
we're
sending
in
has
been
found
to
be
a
variant
as
compared
to
50
of
state
samples.
B117.
The
one
that
was
first
identified
in
the
united
kingdom
continues
to
be
the
highest
level
variance,
and
that
makes
about
about
70
of
those
identified.
E
We
also
continue
to
see
some
breakthrough
cases
in
this
state,
but
it's
very
important
to
remember
that,
even
though
it's
possible
to
get
covet
after
you're
vaccinated
the
cases
that
you
get
are
very
mild
and
are
very
low
in
symptoms
and
less
than
one
percent
of
those
vaccinated
that
become
affected,
even
at
that
a
very
small
fraction
of
that
have
needed
hospital
care.
E
So
as
far
as
vaccination
updates,
they
have
given
more
than
2.5
million.
Hoosiers
have
now
been
fully
vaccinated,
with
over
5
million
of
doses
of
copa
vaccine
given
and
in
monroe
county
over
136
000,
total
vaccinations
have
been
given
and
that's
about
50
percent
or
one
out
of
every
two
people
who
are
eligible
have
been
fully
vaccinated
for
covid
within
monroe
county
and
another
7
500
have
received
their
first
dose
of
the
two
dose
series.
E
So
if
you
haven't
yet
gotten
your
vaccination,
you
can
get
it
at
assembly
hall
at
iu.
I
looked
on
today
and
there
are
appointments
available.
You
can
also
go
to
most
local
cvs,
kroger
walmart.
E
I
looked
on
the
map
and
currently
we
have
over
15
vaccination
sites
in
monroe
county,
where
you
can
get
a
vaccine
starting
on
6
21.
They
will
also
be
available
every
monday
at
the
public
health
clinic,
our
public
health
clinic
nurses
and
our
public
health
staff
are
also
providing
outreach
vaccination
clinics
within
the
community
two
or
three
days
a
week.
E
B
Okay,
going
to
the
monroe
county
board
of
commissioners,
I
have
lee
jones
is
reporting
here.
I
don't
see
lee
on
the
call,
though
I'm
wondering
if
I
have
that
information
wrong.
That's
penny
is
that
you.
B
F
F
D
Chuck
and
thank
you
mayor
for
your
comments.
Over
the
past
few
days,
we've
seen
continued
numbers,
the
same
overall,
coveted
numbers
as
we
saw
the
past
week,
and
so
here
in
monroe
county.
It's
the
same
story
between
bloomington
and
monroe
hospital,
so
this
virus
is
prevalent
and
with
us
today
we
have
now
vaccinated
approximately
89
616,
probably
a
few
more
since
that
statistic
came
in
at
noon.
Individuals
at
our
community
vaccine
clinic
sites
and
continue
to
be
proud
of
the
great
work
our
clinics
are
doing
to
keep
our
communities
safe.
D
requiring
vaccinations
for
our
health
care.
Team
members
is
not
new
or
unprecedented
iu.
Health
required
the
flu
vaccine
and
have
done
so
since
2012,
along
with
several
other
vaccines
that
we
have
as
a
condition
of
employment,
to
ensure
again
that
we
provide
safety
for
our
for
our
family
team
members
and
our
patients.
D
A
Hey
good
afternoon,
everybody
I'll
start
with
the
numbers,
as
I
think
I
reported
with
the
campus
population
down,
particularly
in
our
residence
halls
and
communal
living,
as
well
as
the
high
number
of
iu
people
who
have
been
vaccinated.
A
Our
mitigation
testing
has
dropped
significantly
because
of
those
that
either
aren't
here
or
have
been
vaccinated,
which
are
then
taken
out
of
our
pool
for
mitigation
testing.
This
past
week,
we
tested
over
1100
people
for
covet
19,
with
a
very
small
positive
rate
of
0.18.
A
Only
two
people
of
the
1135
that
were
tested
last
week
tested
positive,
so
you
can
see
that
these
efforts
work
and
we're
able
to
control
the
virus
with
vaccine
and
the
kinds
of
prevention
measures
that
we've
we've
been
experiencing
and
had
great
success
with
overall,
through
this
whole
endeavor
over
the
past
year,
as
we've
maneuvered
through
the
pandemic
emergency.
A
You
know
this
past
week
we
did
announce
and
I'm
I'm
so
pleased
that
iu
health
joined
us.
We've
both
been
able,
as
two
of
the
largest
employers
in
indiana,
to
have
a
vaccine
requirement.
A
Do
you
upload
it
on
the
website
and
now
we'll
be
having
weekly
drawings
for
prizes
and
different
categories
for
students,
faculty
and
staff
students
will
be
eligible
for
get
this
hey
a
year-long
free
parking
permit
now,
what's
better
than
that
for
students,
that'd
be
great,
a
500
bookstore
gift
certificate,
dining
and
other
gift
cards
of
500
credits,
faculty
and
staff
will
be
eligible
for
apple
watches,
air
pods
and
yeti
coolers,
and
our
grand
prizes
will
include
one
year
of
in-state
tuition
for
students
and
for
faculty
and
staff.
A
Your
choice
of
two
colts
tickets
or
two
cold
season
tickets
or
two
season
tickets
to
the
in
the
indiana
animals,
repertory
theater,
lots
of
great
choices
and
our
first
drawing
will
be
june
10th
next
week.
Everyone
who
has
up
who
has
uploaded
their
documentation,
be
it
four
months
ago
or
just
today,
will
be
eligible
in
that
random
sweepstakes.
Drawing
that
that
we're
pleased
to
be
able
to
announce
this
week
overall,
we'll
be
giving
away
over
70
000
in
prizes
and
incentives
for
the
vaccine,
we're
joining
our
other
partners
all
over
the
place.
A
Doing
the
same
thing
it.
It
seems
as
a
way
to
kind
of
celebrate
how
far
we've
come
this
past
year.
A
Another
good
statistic
is
that
we're
up
now
over
36
000
doses
at
simon
scott
assembly
hall
since
the
first
of
april,
when
we
started
this
will
continue
through
the
summer
and,
of
course,
as
kathy
ewett
mentioned
earlier,
we've
got
plenty
of
appointments
available
where
we
welcome
you
to
come
to
assembly
hall
this
summer
with
your
family.
If
you
like,
sign
up
at
ourshot.ian.gov
and
get
your
registration-
and
you
know
one
thing
I've
heard
this
week-
is
that
some
people
aren't
convinced
that
this
is
free.
A
Well,
it
is
free
and
we're
wherever
you
go,
to
get
your
vaccine,
whether
it
be
at
assembly,
hall
or
or
any
of
the
clinic
sites.
You
do
put
some
information
down.
If
you've
got
insurance,
they
charge
your
insurance
company.
If
you
don't,
the
government
pays
for
it.
So
not
to
worry.
It's
free,
you're
not
going
to
get
a
bill,
and
if
you
do
it's
wrong,
so
go
for
it.
It's
easy
with
that
I'll.
Thank
you
all
and
be
willing
to
take
questions.
B
All
right,
thanks,
kirk
very
much
first
question
from
dave
askins,
the
b-square
beacon
for
brian
shockney,
about
that
september
first
date
for
full
vaccination
is
that
the
deadline
date
for
the
final
dose
or
do
iu
health
employees
need
to
have
the
final
dose
administered
two
weeks
ahead
of
september.
1St.
D
So
we
need
to
have
them
vaccinated
fully
vaccinated
by
september
1st,
that
is
to
say,
though,
if
someone
were
to
get
their
final
vaccine
prior
to
that
date.
We
would
certainly
honor
that,
but
that,
just
like
any
other
deadline,
you
have
to
set
the
date
right,
and
so
that
is
the
date
that
we
want
to
work
toward.
As
you
know,
kathy
said,
there's
15
sites,
no
less
than
15
sites
in
monroe,
county
and
other
counties
where
people
can
get
the
vaccine.
B
C
Sorry
I
never
knew
how
much
I'd
talk
about
parking
as
mayor,
but
I
do
talk
about
park.
Thank
you
thanks
for
the
question,
so
we
actually
are.
We've
looked
as
a
as
a
city
and
talking
to
city
council
about
different
things.
We
can
do
as
as
you
can
tell
we
focused
on
trying
to
reward
everyone
is,
as
a
city,
employee,
who's,
gotten
vaccinated
with
a
hundred
bucks,
we're
continuing
to
look
at
options.
It
is
right
to
think
about
how
do
we
encourage
everybody
to
get
it?
No
announcement
on
parking
today,
though,
sorry.
B
Okay,
a
question
from
boris
ladwig
at
the
ht
this
for
brian,
also,
probably
for
kirk
and
kathy
how
many
appointments
still
available
for
assembly
hall
next
week.
What
share
of
that
total
appointments
is
available
where
what
share
is
that
of
total
appointments
available
meaning
locally,
and
is
there
a
plan
to
move
into
a
smaller
facility
when
demand
falls
further?
Now,
there's
one
other
question
I'll
save
that
kirk.
Let
me
turn
to
you
on
assembly
hall,
space's
appointment
still
available
there.
I
assume
there
are
quite
a
few.
A
Yes,
we've
got
hundreds
of
appointments
next
week.
I'd
have
to
go
on
and
look
and
then
total
it
up,
but
for
suffice
it
to
say
in
fact
I'll
ask
while
we're
on
here
and
see
if
I
get
a
number
but
plenty
of
of
availability
next
week
and
to
further
discuss
the
the
the
prospect
of
adjusting
the
hours
and
things
like
that,
we
meet
regularly
with
iu
health
and
the
county
to
discuss
capacity
for
a
vaccinations
and
utilization.
A
We
adjust
accordingly,
and
it
could
be
that
that
I'm
sure
we'll
stay
open
this
summer.
What
we
may
do
is,
you
know,
shrink
the
number
of
employees,
the
number
of
vaccinators
that
we
have
in
place,
but
I'm
sure
that
who
will
remain
available
through
through
the
summer
and
we'll
do
that,
because
we
need
to
keep
things
ready
for
those
who
return
in
the
fall,
who
have
not
yet
been
fully
vaccinated
for
whatever
reason
and
may
need,
the
doses
in
the
community
will
be
able
to
still
administer
that.
D
Chuck,
if
I
could
take
that
as
well,
thank
you
for
the
question
we
have
transitioned.
Our
vaccine
clinic
are
doing
that
currently
with
that
the
current
side
of
our
our
hospital,
but
we've
transitioned
to
our
locations
to
our
clinics
to
our
urgent
cares.
So
this
will
be
similar
to
like
you
know.
When
I
turned
50
years
old
and
my
primary
care
doctor
said
you
need
to
get
your
shingle
shot.
These
will
be
available
where
you
see
your
primary
care
provider
and
also
at
urgent
care
sites
and
other
locations.
D
So
this
becomes
part
of
being
well
and
and
healing
and
making
sure
we're
protecting
our
communities
on
an
ongoing
basis.
So
while
there
may
be
vaccination
sites
that
were
stood
up
as
kirk
was
saying
during
the
pandemic
and
the
need
for
that
mass
vaccination
as
we
move
forward
with
more
people
getting
vaccinated,
there
will
be
more
opportunity
and
readily
available
opportunity
with
your
provider
and
points
of
care
across
the
county
and
across
the
state.
B
And
kathy,
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
add
anything
on
to
that,
but
but
let
me
also
throw
out
that
last
question
that
boris
has.
What
is
the
projected
end
to
the
vaccination
effort
in
monroe
county?
I
don't
know
that
we
can
see
that
end
at
this
point,
but
kathy
I'll.
Throw
that
to
you.
E
Okay,
I
can
just
echo
what
brian
said:
the
state
plan
at
some
point:
it's
just
to
have
people
get
their
vaccinations
at
the
point
of
care.
So
at
some
point
the
mass
vaccination
clinics
will
be
phased
out,
but
there
isn't
a
date
for
that
set
in
sight.
Yet
so.
B
Okay
next
question,
also
from
boris
at
the
ht
for
brian
and
kathy,
once
kids
are
eligible,
meaning
I
suppose
12
and
under
to
get
vaccinations.
Would
local
health
officials
advocate
that
they
be
vaccinated?
Given
the
children
have
a
very
small
risk
of
developing
severe
illness,
but
can
be
carriers
of
the
virus
and
may
congregate
more
meaning
in
schools
than
adults?
Do.
E
Okay,
I
can
start
on
this
at
the
state
level.
Only
92
children
have
been
diagnosed
with
this
at
this
time
and
all
of
them
have
been
released
to
home.
So
I
would,
or
public
health
still
does,
recommend
that
children
go
ahead
and
get
the
vaccinations,
even
though
they
might
not
have
severe
illness
now
covet
has
shown
to
have
some
long-term
effects
on
people
and
they
can
have
continuing
effects
on
different
parts
of
the
body
later,
so
it
still
would
be
recommended.
D
I
have
nothing
to
add
there,
except
that
we've
had
we've
seen
the
12
to
18
year
olds
come
in
very
excited
to
get
their
vaccine,
and
a
couple
of
those
stories
are
posted
on
our
website
as
well.
So
we
I've
been
very
impressed
with
our
children
and
this
generation
that
are
willing
and
able
to
get
their
vaccine.
B
Question
from
boris
this
kirk
coming
at
me
and
you
will
you
require
proof
of
vaccination
once
there
are
full
fda
approvals
for
the
vaccine
and
if
those
don't
arrive
before
the
fall,
how
valuable
will
a
vaccination
requirement
be
if
there's
no
requirement
of
proof,
there's
one
other
question
I'll
hold
on
to?
But
if
you
want
to
take
that
on
kirk.
A
Sure
you
know
we
take
a
look
at
the
changing
environment
and
the
changing
guidance
from
the
cdc
and
the
fda
as
it
as
it
has
adjusted
weekly,
sometimes
daily
throughout
the
pandemic.
A
If
approvals
come
in-
and
I
know
that
pfizer
and
madonna-
both-
I
think
brian-
I
think
you
mentioned
that
visor
has
applied
and
moderna
will
be
applying.
They
actually
have.
Yes,
both
of
them
great.
Thank
you.
A
So
we'll
see
how
that
turns
out,
we're
not
sure
yet
how
it's
gonna
turn
out,
but
we
expect
that
they
would
be
approved
because
of
the
emergency
use
authorization.
A
I
still
had
a
significant
number
of
safety
provisions
in
it
and
is
considered
safe.
A
So
at
this
time
we
don't
know
how
we
might
change
things,
but
our
medical
response
team
reviews,
those
changes
as
they
come
out
and
and
make
different
changes
so
and
going
on
on
to
your
next
question
was:
let's
see,
would
there
was
there
an
offer
for
incentives?
Was
there
a
plan
to
do
that
all
along,
or
is
this
to
make
up
for
the
university
no
longer
being
able
to
require
proof?
A
Well,
you
know
what
we
have
found
is
that
an
incentive
program
for
people
who
who
haven't
quite
made
time
or
on
the
fence
or
haven't
researched
where
they
could
get
a
vaccine
or
all
sorts
of
other
things
really
haven't
just
stopped
and
given
a
serious
consideration
that
the
incentive
program
that
we're
doing
would
help
them
get
over
that
hump
and
that's
what
it's
done
other
places.
A
So
we
did
not
have
plans
for
it
prior
to
last
week,
but
we
listened
to
our
own
constituencies
and
the
leaders
in
the
state
who
who,
as
the
governor
said,
there's
more
than
one
way
to
skin
a
cat.
We'll
quote
the
governor
and
we're
following
what
he's
what
he's
suggested
there,
and
this
is
a
new
way.
Another
way
that
we
can
encourage
that
vaccination
rate
to
increase.
B
No
other
questions
right
now,
but
I'll
hang
on
a
moment,
as
we
still
have
quite
a
bit
of
time
to
go
and
we've
paid
for
the
time
up
until
two
o'clock.
I
believe
so
we'll
hang
on
here
for
just
a
second
again,
if
you
have
questions
well,
here's
actually
here
is
a
question
from
adam
pinsker
at
wtiu
is,
are
you
keeping
track
of
how
many
students
and
staff
have
filled
out
the
vaccine
attestation
forms
since
iu
announced
their
fall
guidelines?
Kirk.
A
B
So
still
waiting
for
another
question
I'll
give
it
just
a
moment
here.
What
I
was
going
to
say
is
as
always,
for
indiana
university.
If
you
have
questions
about
the
policy
and
other
things
dealing
with
the
pandemic,
we
have
our
website
at
covet.iu.edu,
where
you
can
find
out
about
the
incentives
and
everything
else
and
again
that
incentive
link
is
now
in
the
chat.
B
So
we
are
hanging
on
once
and
twice
and
if
you
have
another
question,
go
ahead
and
get
that
in
there
we
are
planning
on
right
now
being
back
next
week,
we're
talking
about
our
our
summer
summer.
Schedule
on
that.
But
we'll
keep
everybody
up
to
date
on
this,
and
here
he
is.
I
delayed
just
enough
to
get
adam
a
chance
to
answer
to
ask
one
more
question
this
one
from
adam
for
the
mayor
or
anybody
else.
B
Are
you
concerned
that
the
state
of
indiana
as
a
whole
lags
behind
many
other
states
and
getting
residents
vaccinated
and
to
that
point,
if
you
anybody
gets
the
print
edition
of
the
new
york
times
or
watches
it
online,
there
is
a
chart
of
all
the
states,
and
indiana
is
one
of
the
lagging
states
today.
So
mayor
hamilton,
I'll
start
with
you
on
that.
B
C
It's
it's
very
concerning
and
vaccines
are
how
we
win
and
and
it's
concerning
that
we're
not
winning
among
the
different
states.
So
we
got
work
to
do.
D
Yeah
I'll
also
say
it's
concerning
from
the
standpoint
of:
if
we
don't
get
a
majority,
a
large
majority
of
our
residents
vaccinated,
we
could
very
likely
risk
another
outbreak
in
the
fall,
as
we
did
past
fall,
which
would
put
further
restrictions
on
how
we
live
our
lives
and
also
stress
the
health
care
system
from
from
monroe
county,
we're
being
a
little
selfish
about
wanting
to
get
as
many
vaccinated
as
possible,
because
we're
going
to
relocate
to
that
new
hospital
on
the
indiana
university
campus
at
the
end
of
the
year,
and
we
would
really
not
like
to
be
fighting
another
surge
in
the
pandemic
while
we're
trying
to
move
patients
to
a
new
facility.
D
C
And
I
don't
I
don't
know
if
I
just
want
to
reiterate
and
affirm
what
commissioner
gidden
said
too,
which
is
reminding
that
in
a
way,
that's
an
indicator
that
it
is
really
important
to
continue
to
wear,
mask
and
distance
if
you're
not
vaccinated,
for
whatever
reason-
and
we
hope
people
will
reconsider
any
reasons
but
and
continue
to
evaluate
those,
but
we
we
need
to
make
max,
mask
wearing
and
distancing
and
continue
protocols
very
comfortable
for
everyone,
because,
if
you're
not
vaccinated,
you
really
should
be
doing
that
and
we
appreciate
enterprises
organizations,
restaurants,
facilities
that
are
protecting
their
workforce
and
others
by
encouraging
that
too
it
is,
it
is
really
serious.
C
E
And
I
would
also
add
that,
even
though
it's
really
good
that
50
of
those
eligible
now
are
vaccinated
again,
that's
50
of
those
eligible
are
not
yet
vaccinated.
So
we
still
do
need
to
keep
that
in
mind
and,
as
the
mayor
alluded
to
our
neighbors
to
the
west
and
to
the
south,
both
have
higher
rates
than
we
do
in
this
state,
and
we
are
a
regional
hub.
We
know
everybody
comes
to
bloomington
to
shop,
to
eat
or
to
work.
So
we
need
to
keep
that
in
mind
and
encourage
everybody.
B
We're
saying
that,
even
if
you
don't
win
a
prize,
don't
get
free
parking
for
a
year,
you
do
get
that
immunity
with
the
vaccination,
so
that
is
probably
a
better
price,
above
all
others,
so
we
do
absolutely
encourage
it.
Well,
seeing
no
other
questions
we'll
call
it
a
day
there
and
a
plan
to
be
back
next
week
at
the
same
time,
at
1
15.
thanks
everybody
for
your
questions.
We
will
see
you
then.
