Booster shot watch
We're expecting to find out more this week about when Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine booster shots will be available.
On Friday, a committee that advises the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended boosters for people age 65 and older and those at high risk of severe COVID-19.
The FDA is expected to decide on the recommendation in the next few days. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention committee that determines how vaccines are used will meet about the matter on Wednesday and Thursday.
Ohio and Cincinnati healthcare providers are preparing for when a decision is made.
Good news for the Western Hills Viaduct

The aging viaduct, which leaders have talked about fixing for a decade, is one of the area's most significant infrastructure needs.
