Although violence is complex, many of the solutions are not: common sense gun laws and providing youth safe spaces, long term commitment, and safe nurturing stable relationships with caring adults @ChiYouthProgram @InjuryFreeKids @LurieHCN

@MeganAttridgeMD @LuriePEM Equity is so important for this vaccine to work to get us back to a new (better) normal! #PEMVaccineChat

@LuriePEM A6: For school to go back in person for tweens and teens in my district! (and more importantly in my house) Vaccines for teachers!! #PEMVaccineChat

@LuriePEM Q5: Mix of elated and nervous. It look a little leap of faith and the science behind it was enough for me. I want to be able to safely visit family again, so I rolled up my sleeve.

[Michelle Macy @MichLMacy]

@LuriePEM A4: Had a little victory this year in the setting of COVID. My 70 year old dad was willing to get his first flu vaccine (ever) and has gotten his first dose of COVID. Time, patience, and a bit of teaming up with my stepmom helped. #PEMVaccineChat

@LuriePEM Motivational Interviewing is a great tool in the ED for history taking and behavior change conversations. Takes a little up front investment to learn and practice, but worth in the end you have more efficient interactions. #PEMVaccineChat

[Michelle Macy @MichLMacy]

@LuriePEM @kmangold_NU Q3: You might not want to "go there" at risk of offending a family, but the science is so solid, we're on good ground to share the facts. Vaccines save lives. #PEMVaccineChat

[Michelle Macy @MichLMacy]

@LuriePEM @kmangold_NU Sometimes not having a relationship opens a door to a conversation that might not be possible if you know a family over time (not a barrier, but could be an opportunity for EM providers) #PEMVaccineChat
