CDC Director Rochelle Walensky Resigns, Citing Pandemic Transition
NEW YORK — Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, submitted her resignation Friday, saying the waning of the COVID-19 pandemic was a good time to make a transition.

COVID-19 Dropped to 4th Leading Cause of Death in U.S. Last Year
NEW YORK — U.S. deaths fell last year, and COVID-19 dropped to the nation’s No. 4 cause, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.

And most people who are immune-compromised can choose another bivalent booster shot at least two months later, with additional dose...
