Call to action-Childhood vax/covid boosters (plz boost)

RFK has fired ACIP to replace with his antivaxxers; kid vax + covid/flu/RSV boosters are at risk. States can make their own requirements. Use @5calls.org or @resist.bot to call your STATE reps to keep vax access. Script outline below.
A call script for state electeds regarding vaccination schedule: While your mileage may vary depending on which state/region you live in, this is an opportunity to call your STATE electeds (state senator, state assemblyperson, and governor) with the following outline: -RFK recently fired ACIP members -His goal is to replace them with an antivax agenda -This will harm millions of kids while impacting seasonal covid/flu/RSV boosters for adults -Something about your state's position or population needs (CA is a leader in progressive health policy and needs to protect its residents) -As my elected, urging you to push your STATE Health Human Services Secretary to maintain the current childhood vaccine/respiratory booster schedule and proactively stock inventory for both -Insert personal story here if you want. I include details about my wife's health conditions and how 2x/year covid boosters protect us so we can have a pretty normal life.

They're lying to you about their budget plans because they know nobody wants to slash funding for Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.

🔥📞🔥 NEW CALL SCRIPT directed to both House & Senate w/ additional responses in case you face gaslighting push back from staffers 👉 5calls.org/issue/house-...
Graph showing that voters overwhelming want to increase or maintain funding for key programs, including medicaid. While few support increased corporate tax breaks.
