To boost or not to boost… that is the (covid vaccine) question
Baited breath waiting on @US_FDA and @CDCgov for final word
For now - Keep on vaccinating all who need it! #VaccinesWork#COVID19
@drmeowza The delta variant originated outside the US. The most important behavior we need to change is to turn off the faucet: We need equitable global vaccination.
While the world discusses & the WHO keeps stressing this, social distancing continues to be a necessary for staying safe.
#COVAX short 4-5 billion doses of #COVID19#vaccine across the globe, primarily in lower income countries. Health Equity must be #globalhealth#equity

Experts answered questions about the COVID-19 vaccine for children 12 years and older and shared talking points to help pediatricians guide families. https://t.co/J3v5g2TfA8
Soo... today I read something from the @WHO that I guess I hadn’t considered... Vaccine Equity as it relates to vaccinating low risk individuals in wealthy countries while high risk individuals remain unvaccinated in resource poor countries... 😕
@Datanerdkim @CuratedTV@ashishkjha@MelanieLybarger Those are two inaccurate statements.
1) community spread is not higher now than a year ago
2) fully vaxxed folks have low chance of spreading - part of the 3-pronged benefit of vaccination (low infection, hospitalization and transmission rates)
@Datanerdkim @ashishkjha@MelanieLybarger So in this scenario the only time when masking can stop is with 100% vaccination. That is not scientifically sound or realistic. Risk of fully vaxxed folks getting/spreading the virus is very low. In 4 wks increase in vaxxed folks won’t change things enough to change outcome.
@ashishkjha@MelanieLybarger Really unvaccinated individuals are the only ones with a legitimate argument here. My question is, how does CDC Updated Guidance change their situation? The recommendation is still to socially distance, avoid large crowds, wear masks when outside your household...
Return to normal is loading.... Thanks to #COVIDVaccination the slow but steady return to normal is upon us. What we longed for, prayed for, hoped for, worked for... Let’s keep following the #Science that got us through the worst of the #pandemic
Dr. Fauci: "This is a very important step in the direction of trying to back to some degree of normality... being able to go around without a mask indoors as well as outdoors is really a big step in that direction." https://t.co/RWfiYr7FWN
UPDATE: If you are fully vaccinated against #COVID19, you can resume activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal or territorial laws, incl. local business and workplace guidance. More: https://t.co/FJMon7WlFO
#AAPIHeritageMonth gives many of us a chance to learn more about the many cultures, contributions and accomplishments of Americans of Asian and Pacific Islander heritage.
I love how books can help kids expand their horizons. No better topic than #inclusion
