Sudden changes to H1-B work visas could spell trouble for Alaska's many foreign teachers. Plus, healthcare providers worry mixed vaccine messaging could lead to lower rates in Alaska.

Reports tonight from:

Brian Venua in Kodiak
Rachel Cassandra and Wesley Early in Anchorage
Eric Stone and Yvonne Krumrey in Juneau
Desiree Hagen in Kotzebue
Taylor Heckart in Petersburg
