For those who don’t know me, I literally just got back from a three week trip to visit my family in Spain for the first time in almost two years

It was fabulous

Congrats Barbara, Amy and Michelle! And all who submitted, keep going!

Our grantee this month was talking about how prices have gone up for food!

Yes, there are devastating effects, increased malnutrition and food insecurity

it's more like 99% of hospital patients are unvaccinated

I empathize with you on that Judy, I'm really upset at our "leadership" here in Florida that are not acting responsibly as our infection rates (and deaths) go up. Especially among children.

Hospitals require MMR’s and many other vaccines ; this has been unnecessarily politicized and now that Pfizer has FDA approval beyond the EUA, there is no justification for not making this a requirement

Hi Debbie! Great to hear you!

A school district near me is being sued by parents for a mask mandate

They’re expecting 40% immunized. By end of 2021

I read today that India will once again manufacturing vaccines for import, so that should help.

Thank you Veena! It is great to see the great work being done by this grantee in Haiti. So much of that work is needed.

Regular childhood immunizations and vaccines have gone by the wayside

I’m confused - only because I’m from NYS. I would have to tweak the letter for Leader Schumer, but then I wouldn’t send the same letter to Senator Gillibrand would I?

Good question Ruth. Let me look at this

To email a senate aide, use this formula: firstname_lastname@Senatorlastname.senate.gov

Example: John_Henry@Burr.senate.gov

Ruth, looks like it goes to both Senators at the same time. What you might do is to personalize your message with a message to both—need Senator Gillibrand to voice her support for $2 billion for vaccine manufacturing and Majority Leader Schumer to ensure that the Senate matches the $2 billion for vaccine manufacturing in the House. Something like that.

Our paper has a word limit you need to watch for also - FYI

Yes thanks for flagging that Ruth, we suggest to keep it between 150 to 200 words. The word limit is important to watch.
