No child should ever face the trauma and horror of today.

Tonight our hearts are with the families of Robb Elementary, the City of Uvalde, and the first responders. How much more grief must our nation bear?

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

NEW: Today, I released a Surgeon General’s Advisory calling the nation to address a growing threat to our individual and collective health: health worker burnout. Health workers have long had our back—it’s time for us to have theirs. https://t.co/2st5fl9j3A 1/6

Last week I visited with the talented & dedicated @usphscc medical personnel supporting the public health and medical mission of Operation Allies Welcome.

Thank you @Surgeon_General & @HHS_ASH for the collaboration with @DHSgov on this important effort.

Spent today in the Rio Grande Valley visiting a @CBP vaccination site.

Providing vaccines along the SWB protects the American people, our DHS workforce, and the health and well-being of non citizens in our care and custody.

[Dr. Herb Wolfe @DHSCMO]

Our office is proud to lead the public health effort of Operation Allies Welcome.

In partnership with our colleagues from the CDC, DOD, DOS, and HHS we successfully implemented a mass vaccination campaign that contained measles and achieved close to 100% vaccination coverage.
