The FDA approved Covid vaccines from Pfizer, Biontech, Moderna and Novavax. In the past, the shots have been available to anyone aged six months and older. But the FDA is now limiting the vaccines to people who are at risk for serious complications from COVID That includes people ages 65 and older and younger, people who have other health issues that put them at risk. Federal officials say the changes reflect how much immunity people have. Many public health experts worry the restrictions will make it too hard for other people to get vaccinated.

Last week, K Pop Demon hunters became the third soundtrack in history to land three top 10 hits at the same time. This week, NPR Stephen Thompson reports that it goes a step further.

K Pop Demon Hunters is now the first soundtrack ever to land four songs in the top ten at the same time. At number one, golden by Huntrix. The music landscape has changed dramatically in the last 15 or 20 years. Past hit soundtracks staggered the release of their singles. That made it harder to land many of them in the top 10 at the same time. Still, the streaming era has produced its own blockbuster soundtracks like Encanto and Barbie. None of them pulled off four top 10 hits, though. Leave it to Huntricks and their rivals in Saja Boys to show them how it's done. Stephen Thompson, NPR News.
