Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if

To fellow parents I say: If you have a child between 5 and 11, get them vaccinated and give your child the power to safely learn, play and be a kid.

[Hamish Brewer @brewerhm]

Teachers are exhausted, teachers are hurting, teachers are surviving, teachers are keeping their heads above water! Shoutout to every single teacher hanging in there, turning up every single day to help kids! Cant say enough! We see you, we hear you & we got your back! Thank you!

The overwhelming majority of COVID-19 related cases, hospitalizations & deaths in PA occurred in people who weren't vaccinated. Data shows compared to unvaccinated people, fully vaccinated Pa'ians are 7 times less likely to get COVID-19 & 8 times less likely to die from COVID-19.

[Secretary of Health @pahealthsec]

The reality we are living in now is much different than it was just a month ago. With case counts increasing, the situation has reached the point that we need to take this action to protect our children, teachers and staff.

[Secretary of Health @pahealthsec]

COVID-19 is still prevalent in our communities, which is why it's extremely important that everyone take their health seriously and get vaccinated. We've been working with vaccine providers to ensure they have the tools needed to vaccinate every Pennsylvanian who wants a vaccine.

As students look forward to returning to classes, getting a vaccine should be considered an essential back-to-school item on this year’s list for students 12 and older. The COVID-19 vaccine is our best protection from this virus.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Still relevant.

[Secretary of Health @pahealthsec]

While continuing to provide quality care for residents at their facilities, SNFs have stepped up to supply this critical information in a timely manner. It’s clear that PA’s skilled nursing facilities are taking the ongoing vaccination of new residents and staff seriously.

Some days require a bit of a pep talk more than others.

[Becca Petersheim @BeccaPetersheim]

They did it again! Thank you, thank you @mrsbarnhart85 and Barb! What a sweet morning🍩☕️🥨

[Becca Petersheim @BeccaPetersheim]

Thankful for colleagues like @mrsbarnhart85 who organize opportunities like this as a bright spot in the week for teachers! YUM!

This is a start. We still have so much work to do.

Today I received my first dose of #COVID19 vaccine at a clinic in Cumberland County. I encourage Pennsylvanians to protect themselves and their loved ones from the COVID-19 virus by getting vaccinated too.

[Secretary of Health @pahealthsec]

Everyone over 16 is now eligible to get vaccinated and providers have the steady supply of vaccine they need to get it to people who want it. What I hope is that more Pennsylvanians will decide to protect themselves and their loved ones from COVID-19 virus by getting vaccinated.

[Secretary of Health @pahealthsec]

The safety procedures built into the vaccination process are working and should instill confidence in safety and effectiveness of available COVID-19 vaccines. I urge individuals who have appointments scheduled to receive a Pfizer or Moderna vaccination to keep those appointments.
