North Carolina now has its first case of monkeypox.The state's Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) announced it confirmed the infection through the State Laboratory of Public Health. While the agency did not disclose where in the state the infected person lives, Atrium Health said Thursday that the case is not from Charlotte. The patient's health care providers are now reaching out to possible close contacts."Though this is the first confirmed case in North Carolina, we know there are likely other cases in the state," Dr. Zack Moore, State Epidemiologist and Epidemiology Section Chief, said. "We are encouraging doctors to consider this in people who have a rash or skin lesion that looks like monkeypox."READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/health/nc-monkeypox-case-health-regional/275-78ac7d47-26cf-4bda-b412-e04bf77d42fbFederal health officials on Thursday ordered Juul to pull its electronic cigarettes from the U.S. market, the latest blow to the embattled company widely blamed for sparking a national surge in teen vaping.The action is part of a sweeping effort by the Food and Drug Administration to bring scientific scrutiny to the multibillion-dollar vaping industry after years of regulatory delays.The FDA said Juul must stop selling its vaping device and its tobacco and menthol flavored cartridges. Those already on the market must be removed. Consumers aren't restricted from having or using Juul's products, the agency said.To stay on the market, companies must show that their e-cigarettes benefit public health.

North Carolina health leaders say COVID-19 shots for the youngest children eligible to be vaccinated will be available in a matter of days.On Saturday, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky gave her endorsement of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for children aged 6 months to under 5 years. This means about 18 million kids will be able to get the shots, but how many actually will is still to be seen. Less than a third of kids aged 5 to 11 have been vaccinated against the coronavirus.The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) said in a news release just minutes after Walensky's endorsement vaccines for kids under 5 would be available across the Tar Heel state as early as Monday. That's when the first wave of shipments is expected, but NCDHHS urged parents and guardians to coordinate with their child's pediatrician, medical provider, or local health department for more details on availability.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/covid-shots-vaccines-kids-infants-north-carolina-health/275-1f32bf14-bb5b-4cdd-a6f7-c0a50337adfd World swimming's governing body has effectively banned transgender women from competing in women's events, starting Monday.FINA members widely adopted a new “gender inclusion policy” on Sunday that only permits swimmers who transitioned before age 12 to compete in women's events.

Wednesday on Political Rewind: The spread of the delta variant combined with a low rate of vaccinations in Georgia are leading to a spike in cases of COVID-19 and hospitalizations here. Many residents expected a sense of normalcy to return, but now Georgia and the rest of the country is confronted with a new surge, with public health guidance that feels like yesterday's news. Dean of Georgia State University's Public Health School Dr. Rodney Lyn said vaccinations against COVID-19 remain a clear way of protecting health and curbing the virus' spread. "The most effective strategy is to increase vaccination rates," he said. "We've known for many months that was the priority and that remains the priority." Instances of breakthrough infection of COVID-19, where vaccinated individuals become sick, are being reported. But public health officials, including Emory University professor of epidemiology Dr. Jodie Guest, say the data shows vaccines remain effective at keeping people from getting infected by COVID, and keep symptoms mild if they do get sick. "The breakthrough cases are not common, and so we want to make sure we understand the data," Guest said. "So, out of over 4 million fully vaccinated people in our state, 4,908 have had a breakthrough case since January of 2021. That is 0.12 percent." The news can seem scary and confusing. We assembled a panel of top public health experts to help demystify the state of the virus today. Panelists: Dr. Jodie Guest — Vice chair, Department of Epidemiology, Rollins School of Public Health Dr. Benjamin Lopman — Professor, Department of Epidemiology, Rollins School of Public Health Dr. Rodney Lyn — Dean of the School of Public Health, Georgia State University Dr. Amber Schmidtke — Chair of the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Saint Mary, and writer, The COVID Digest
