Vulnerable groups including racial minorities should be represented and be invited in the table. NURSES who accounts for the largest healthcare workforce in this country must be seated in that table too!

@AANP_NEWS According to a data by the California Healthcare Foundation 58.8% of CA NP's provide primary care versus 17% of Physicians!

@mypnaa @MathematicaNow @mjRNformatics Underinvestment in primary care has perpetuated a national system that in most cases is unable to provide access to high-quality health care. 😬

@mypnaa Nurses Practitioners can help bridge the gap in providing access to high-quality primary care in this country.

@mypnaa Great responses @mypnaa! Nurses contribution in this pandemic is phenomenal! I am so proud of your organization being part of this important conversation!

[AANP @AANP_NEWS]

A8 It is imperative that we capture as much data as possible to inform our response to the next pandemic and use epidemiologic studies to determine what did or did not work when combating #COVID19. V-safe https://t.co/gsVELjNE5s #PrimaryCareCovidChat #NPsLead

@mypnaa Agree with your thoughts @mypnaa . We are hoping that this happens sooner and not later!

@mypnaa Good point @mypnaa! Local Accessibility is an important aspect in the success of the vaccine rollout.

@mypnaa @MathematicaNow Public Service Announcements (PSAs) can help disseminate key information to the general public.

A2 Significant confusion as to whom to contact and explicit algorithms when coordinating vaccinations, at what scale and for what period of time, and for how long in a given day. #ThisIsOurShot #myPNAA #wearefirstline #PrimaryCareCOVIDChat

A2 #PrimaryCareCovidChat
Lack of available print or digital information accessible to the public. Inefficient mechanisms for identifying who meets the criteria for #vaccinations and targeted ad/media campaigns to reach these populations. #ThisIsOurShot #myPNAA #wearefirstline

@mypnaa @mjRNformatics @pnanewyork @mypnasatx @the_pnaga I am here supporting the PNAA!

@mypnaa @MathematicaNow Yes, incarcerated older adults especially those with chronic medical conditions and or serious illnesses are at grave risk of experiencing serious illness including death due to a COVID-19 infection just as they would be in the community.
