1. The CDC vaccine advisers voted unanimously Sunday to recommend Johnson and Johnson's single-dose COVID-19 vaccine.
Shipments will begin going out as early as today so injections can begin Tuesday.
It's the third vaccine to become available in the U.S., but the first that requires only a single dose and the only one that can be kept at normal refrigerator temperatures.
2. Have you noticed that gas prices keep going up? It wasn't that long ago gas was $2 a gallon. Now Michigan's average is $2.76.
Experts are saying there's more than one reason for the price hike. One being the winter storms down in Texas and the Gulf, the other is the switch over from the winter blend to the summer blend.
Triple-A says the prices could continue to climb in the coming weeks before we see some relief.
3. It might not be spring just yet, but the butterflies are blooming at Frederik Meijer Gardens.
