The emergency in Puerto Rico is ongoing and the situation is dire now compounded with extreme heat.
I'm confident that @POTUS will quickly authorize a Major Disaster Declaration and get Puerto Rico the help it needs.
@LawrenceGostin@MamaWeasleyy@US_FDA So fda did delay reviewed moderna for the Pfizer data. I don’t need to compare their damn data. I want moderna NOW! My kids start school at the end of July and need a vaccine!
@LawrenceGostin@MamaWeasleyy@US_FDA I would prefer to be able to vaccinate my three year old earlier than delay to compare the two. No other age group was held to this standard. Why children under five?
@COVIDOversight what are you going to do to gain insight into the miraculous coincidence of a VRBPAC meeting being scheduled within hours of Pfizer announcing under 5 data? Every day matters. #ImmunizeUnder5s
Parents have been waiting many months for vaccines for their young children.
They deserve to hear from @US_FDA why this lengthy process has been in children’s best interests.

So I just got an email from my child’s pediatric hospital about how they currently have “much longer than usual wait times,” “much like other hospitals in the area.”
Where the hell is the vaccine for <5s? Why does no one besides parents seem to think this is urgent?
@AnnaJWagner @Alexander_Tin@US_FDA Such good news to know that supply will be ready. @US_FDA please publicly commit to a date for @moderna_tx data.
Kids <5 need access to vaccine. Protect them from severe health outcomes 🦠🏥 #ImmunizeUnder5s
June 8 is still over 3 weeks from now. I feel like…..since we have had the data since May 9 but really but really April 28 we can move that up a bit. Considering ya know we are in a huge surge @FDASpox @FDACBER @DrCaliff_FDA @US_FDA @WhipClyburn @COVIDOversight@ImmunizeUnder5s
Still "in the coming weeks" for Pfizer under 5. They will not be submitting within a week of Moderna who completed their application on May 9. Time to move up the @moderna_tx VRPAC as @DrCaliff_FDA promised.
Now that Moderna has submitted all pediatric data to @US_FDA, we urge an immediate, transparent and thorough review. Families of children under 5 have waited a long time for the reassurance of a safe and effective vaccine.
Today is 5/10 and 20 mil #kids live unprotected from severe outcomes and long term issues from #COVID19
@US_FDA has told parents to calculate their risk and to rely on others to do the “right thing.”
Give them a better plan! And #immunizeunder5s https://t.co/VAG7LktYNR
Please RETWEET this to demand @US_FDA prioritize #EUAinMay so that parents of children under five can finally have the choice to #ImmunizeUnder5s! ALL children deserve protection! Don't you agree?
It is really a major equity issue to deny vaccine access to Under 5s when so many children have to go to maskless daycare even with medical issues and risk getting COVID because their parents cannot afford to keep them home. @JeromeAdamsMD weigh in !
