@joemagrino0528 Way to go!!!

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

@hannahfearn I think there’s confusion about when exactly you’re considered “due”—now there’s docs saying it’s fine to go five years in between paps instead of three. What is the right rec?

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

Banging my head against a wall. All my years of training and education, and I swear my downfall will be the intricacies of purchasing. It’s like they keep it a nebulous black box on purpose. How am I supposed to know my order terms are’t “favorable”, Janice?

@EdlowLab Children’s hospital! We had to call (no online scheduling at least yesterday) but they have Moderna!

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

@KeriLynnWolfe @BostonChildrens @MamaWeasleyy No but we have been seen there previously. Not sure if that was a requirement though. Have you tried calling?

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

After a 40min phone wait, we got an appt for Moderna @BostonChildrens on Thursday! Saw this info from a user on @MamaWeasleyy feed, she’s been more helpful than any .gov website in MA. Thank you!! #ImmunizeUnder5s

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

@dimariesci @MamaWeasleyy @BostonChildrens @ImmunizeUnder5s Thank you!!! This tip got us a Moderna appt for Thursday. Can’t tell you how grateful I am that you shared.

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

Okay this was not the update we were looking for. Walgreens will not vaccinate under 3yrs old and mask mandates are gone.

18 million Americans now eligible and I have 3 options.

For anyone who is thinking “be patient”, let me remind you the FDA had Moderna’s data on 4/18/22.

Something’s missing and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Wondering if @MassGovernor @LoriTrahanMA @ewarren @EdMarkey can help fill in the pieces?

Our son’s first birthday is next week and the best present would be 25ug of Moderna to his chubby thigh. #ImmunizeUnder5s

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

@MassMedical @UMassChanLib @MassChapterAAP For the parents who don’t need convincing, would you mind sharing where we can get our 1yr old vaccinated with Moderna?

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

Thank you to @BabyFormulaFind! This much-needed delivery meant I was able to stop pumping at work and start weaning. I can’t describe how badly I needed to stop for my mental health. Freezer stash is almost gone 😢 Bubs will be 1 at the end of the month…I did my job!

@heidibeesknees @MamaWeasleyy Made the mistake of checking out the original FB link. Those comments 😮‍💨

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

@heidibeesknees @MamaWeasleyy Responded! Thanks.

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

Does anyone know any info on @MassGovernor plan to distribute and administer vaccines for #under5s? My pediatrician’s office does not plan to administer and Marlboro BOH has no info. Any info on if pharmacies in MA will administer to under 3yo?? @SamforMarlboro @RepLoriTrahan

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

Sitting here pumping at work and watching my daily output drop week after week and calculating how long my rapidly dwindling frozen BM stash will last vs how hard it will be to get formula for the next ~2 months before we can transition to cows milk.

I hate this. 😔

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

Received an hour-long meeting request without an agenda.

Dear reader, it went straight to the trash.

[Dr. Caroline M. Duffy @cmduffy88]

A huge weight lifted. My promotion is finally official today.

Navigating/fighting for career growth AND a six month paid leave while pregnant/postpartum was so exhausting. It shouldn’t have been such a delicate balancing act but it was, and I am really proud of myself.

@A_Fourier_Duck That I had to design and clone constructs for!

When I just started twitter I saw someone said that they don’t cut bands in gels and do gel purification then PCR - just use a toothpick to poke the correct band and dip it into PCR directly. With lots of doubt, I tried this out today very casually, and….
THIS MAGIC WORKS. 🤯
