With so many people getting infected recently, some folks may wonder what’s the point of getting vaccinated at all?

My observations: 🧵

Masking now will help us end the pandemic sooner. Wearing a mask is a simple step we can all take to protect children and save lives.

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Getting good protection from a mask may take extra attention for children with special health care needs, but it's possible and effective. Find tips here to help your child get used to wearing a mask and how to get it to fit correctly: https://t.co/wSPPznRi7s
