HCPs: #Vaccine exemptions among kindergartners in the U.S. rose to 3% during the 2022-2023 school year. A rise in vaccine exemptions can mean a higher risk of disease outbreaks, especially when reaching 5% or more. See 8 tips to improve vaccine uptake: bit.ly/3xFGzAm

Proud of @ReillyDever & @rushinacholera for this impt paper that lifts up the voice of black parents/caregivers. Delays in infant well care were linked to long waits, feeling rushed or dismissed and vaccine hesitancy. link.springer.com/article/10.100… @seattlechildren @DukeMargolis

So we did a thing @CDCgov - since arriving there I've become slightly obsessed with waste water measurement.....yes💩......we lead the world in how to detect several different kinds of viral activity weeks before they show up in more traditional data sources (labs, ED visits etc)

There's no clearer demonstration than this graph. Child #poverty in the US is a policy choice. We could choose differently. A dramatic spike in child poverty after a the tax credit resulted in an all time low. #childpoverty @crampell @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
