The latest updates on federal gov’s policies re COVID-19 vaccines for children, and what parents and caregivers can do at this point. 🫠 ready for razorblade throat season? theconversation.com/fda-approves...

Healthy children may now only receive a COVID-19 vaccine ‘off-label’ – but in many states, pharmacists and other non-physicians may not be able to administer them that way.

A win for this union is a win for KY working class families! Let’s hope the anti-union propaganda of the upper class elites didn’t win out 🤞

A union vote later this month at the Ford Blue Oval SK battery plant in Hardin County is a huge opportunity for every working-class Kentuckian across the state.

Attention all parents, caregivers of little ones, and anyone else who gives a duck. AAP fights back on RFK’s new ACIP anti-vax agenda. Thank you AAP!- publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...
AAP will continue to publish its own vaccine recommendations after CDC advisers sow distrust
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices plans to form a work group to review child and adolescent immunization schedules, which AAP experts say create a false narrative they are flawed.

I love being a sahm, and I’m thankful everyday to be able to be with my little one all day. I realize that my situation is not financially realistic or desirable for all mothers and families. Universal Pre-k would be amazing for so many Kentucky parents, esp mothers. Go Gov. Beshear!
Today, Gov. Andy Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear joined Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman, local officials, educators, business leaders to launch the “Pre-K for All” initiative, which aims to advance the commonwealth’s public education system and job growth.

'Tornado Alley' is shifting eastward because of a combination of weather phenomenon attributed to climate change, says meteorology professor who is tracking the trend.
Also, expect larger hail from moisture-charged supercell storms.

The republicans love their word play. It’s not cuts to Medicaid, it’s “trimming,” or “a slow down.” I believe they actively set time to brainstorm these euphemisms, and they congratulate themselves and each other when they come up with a particularly buzzy buzz word or phrase. #medicaidcuts
