Something has been bothering me all week. I don't really write threads so bear with me.

Some surgical societies & medical ctrs have had mixed feelings about the RoevWade ruling last week - is it our business? Is it politics? Etc.

And yet... 1/

Her: “This one looks straightforward. Ran out of meds, feels short-winded.” *stares at index card* “Vitals underwhelming.”

I stared at her trying to look cool. Although cool is not what I felt.

Her: “You know where the Red Zone is, right?”

COVID vaccines are available for children 6 months and older, and pediatricians are here to answer families' questions. #CallYourPediatrician to learn more about COVID vaccination.

Important commentary in Hospital Pediatrics @AAPJournals The Time is Now: Equity and Inclusion in Newborn #QualityImprovement. We need contextualized, participatory #QI that focuses on #healthequity. @afbeckmd MeganFanta @CincyPHMFellows @CincyPHM @AAPneonatal @CinciNeofellows

[Sonja Raaum, MD, FACP @SonjaRaaum]

Facts:
- Kids < 12 cannot get vaccine
- Masks prevent spread, @CDCgov and @AmerAcadPeds recommend it
- Covid is ⬆️
- When kids are out of classroom sick, parents miss work. Major implications for #HCW

If masking is not adopted in schools, the only winner is COVID.

[Reena Tam, MD @TamReena]
