I work on policy issues when I’m not raising three kids

Hey @NYCHealthCommr @nycHealthy how do I get my children under 6 the updated bivalent booster? Any guidance? https://t.co/r17usxX6O0

“At least 63 people have been injured in a combined 58 crashes at the same intersection since 2012, including one previous pedestrian who was killed.” Perhaps it’s time to improve the intersection! @NYC_DOT https://t.co/2SmwKkNirz

@thischoi Just wait until they are old enough to blow their own nose and then ask you to do it!

@JonahCrane @TylerGellasch @CatinoNick For kids clothes 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Zach Steinberg @zachssteinberg]

@TylerGellasch @JonahCrane @CatinoNick You can generally buy what you need when you get there. Do. Not. Check. Bags.

@TashiDiaz @alexmeshkin @Neurofourier That was our experience

[Ben Weston @BenWWeston]

Those advocating for #ImmunizeUnder5s are passionate, frustrated, and READY.

And... they are RIGHT.

Why should you join them?

If parents can opt-out of having their kids vaccinated against COVID, others should have the right to opt-in on a <5 vaccine we have every reason to believe will be safe and effective in reducing severe acute disease, late effects and death. Risks and benefits cut both ways.

[Lawrence Gostin @LawrenceGostin]

If the Moderna data does show vaccine effectiveness for under 5 year olds, why wouldn’t FDA grant an EUA. That’s the legal standard. It’s decidedly not FDA’s job to guess what might confuse parents. It’s insulting to parents who want their child to be protected against Covid-19

[Zachary Rubin, MD @rubin_allergy]

Hey @moderna_tx @US_FDA @CDCgov what’s the hold up?

Parents are anxiously waiting for a #covidvaccine for #kids under 5.

#UrgencyOfEquity #CovidIsNotOver

[Zach Steinberg @zachssteinberg]

And yet @US_FDA still won’t approve the effective vaccine for small children

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

New @CDCMMWR today
The US spike in Omicron wave hospitalizations among children and teens, especially for age 0-4 yrs. For age 12-17, unvaccinated accounted for 90% of hospitalizations.

And look, if the FDA saw something that suggested a safety issue, then they should say that.

But that's not what they're saying. And they're testing *more* shots, not halting the tests.

Giving parents good information here and letting them make a decision does not seem crazy.

[Zach Steinberg @zachssteinberg]

It’s terrible. What’s worse … There are policy solutions that would address many of these challenges that government is just not doing.

[Natalie E. Dean, PhD @nataliexdean]

The situation for parents of kids under 5 is so untenable. People are spending weeks without childcare, and, for those who even can work from home, working while watching a toddler is not a thing. Sending love to everyone just trying to make it through. https://t.co/bUH9QhgwL6

[Zach Steinberg @zachssteinberg]

⁦@JessGrose⁩ in ⁦@NYTParenting⁩ is spot on. Also missing … any policy response from government or any urgency to address challenge.

[Zach Steinberg @zachssteinberg]

@nick_bunker Shocking officiating

[Zach Steinberg @zachssteinberg]

The risk of not vaccinating seems a lot higher right now. Why is Pfizer sitting on a perfectly effective vaccine for small children???

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

3) kids need vaccines and boosters. They have been neglected so far by many govt who are withholding / slow-walking their rollout despite data availability. We are out of time — schools restarting soon.

[Zach Steinberg @zachssteinberg]

Why can’t @pfizer get approval for 6 months - 2 years if it produces sufficient immune response?!?!? Don’t the @US_FDA and @CDCgov know we are in a crisis! Infuriating for parents of small children to see the government fail to find a way to get to yes.
