President Biden’s plans to start delivery of booster shots by Sept. 20 for most Americans who received COVID-19 vaccines are facing new complications that could delay the availability for those who received the Moderna vaccine.

Hurricane Ida
The death toll continues to rise after Hurricane Ida batters the Gulf Coast before dumping record-breaking rains on the Northeast. Cleanup continues as both regions try to dry out.
The death toll rose Friday in the catastrophic flooding set off across the Northeast by the remnants of Hurricane Ida. More than three days after the hurricane blew ashore in Louisiana,

people in five states.
