Our hearts are with Lewiston as they reel from a mass shooting. Children - like 10-year-old Zoey - who witnessed the shooting and those on lockdown are traumatized and living in fear. We must #EndGunViolence and protect kids where they live, learn and play.abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/10-y…

The @CDCgov recommends everyone 6 months and older get an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
The updated vaccines are a better match for circulating virus strains and are expected to be available later this week.

KS, MT, & TN have codified into law a fraudulent characterization of #biologicalsex. Major medical organizations (@mt_aap) have appropriately pointed out that definitions based on chromosomes and gamete production reflect misunderstanding of science #antitransgender #antiscience
Kansas' conservative Republican attorney general is moving to prevent transgender people born in the state from changing their birth certificates to reflect their gender identities. apnews.com/article/kansas-tr…

Vaccine misinformation costs society way more than a million dollars. Thankfully you don't need a live debate to donate to charity: voicesforvaccines.org/donate…

“Our study provides another example of a social policy, in this case Medicaid expansion, being associated with reduced child maltreatment, specifically child neglect rates.” -Dr. Emily Brown.
Ending the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency ended Medicaid automatic re-enrollment. If you are on Medicaid, don't miss your notice to re-enroll. @joshliaotweets @UWDeptMedicine & Emily Brown @UWpediatrics offer tips @nwasianweekly to keep your coverage tinyurl.com/5f2v7nrx

Reflections on being in a #polio ward as a child from @DrPaulOffit and a great reminder how far we’ve come thanks to vaccines. Let’s not go back to a time when kids suffered & died from diseases we can now prevent. #lalege #lagov #VaccinesSaveLives
Montana's "unwinding" is likely to similarly affect children who are Medicaid eligible, but have not gotten the notice to reapply or not correctly filled out paperwork.
Florida data from the first month of #MedicaidUnwinding- Devastating.
54% of those evaluated were terminated. Many are children.
82% of those were STILL ELIGIBLE and terminated for procedural reasons.
@scmedicaid, PLEASE do better than this for our kids.
