It’s been great to meet new friends here on #MedTwitter today, especially my fellow #pediatricians. Today’s #AAPAdvocacy2021 has brought many new voices for #ChildHealth to #SoMe & I’d like to welcome them all. Special shout out to District 1 Wendy Sue Davis! #tweetiatrician

Seeing a lot of new and "old" faces today from #AAPadvocacy2021. Welcome to Twitter to a mentor of mine from medical school UNM Health Sciences #tweetiatrician Thanks for your advocacy!

“Advocacy doesn’t have to be dazzling and sparkling and on Twitter and TV.” @priteshgandhimd Grassroots advocacy matters. Every little thing that you do matters to someone. #AAPAdvocacy2021

A lesson from @priteshgandhimd: Advocacy does not have to be flashy, on TV or social media. It happens in our own backyard. For a child, knowing that they have an advocate “in their corner” can make all of the difference. #AAPAdvocacy2021

“There’s power in being pediatrics-trained because the stories we have are powerful” -@priteshgandhimd It is truly a great day to be a pediatrician! #AAPAdvocacy2021

Around 50% of all the vaccines given to children here in the US are from the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program! #AAPAdvocacy2021

Vaccine hesitancy is nothing new. Here’s the damage it’s done over centuries sciencenews.org/article/vaccin…

Excellent article in The Atlantic theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… #COVID

I don’t want COVID & possibly give it to someone else I don’t want to get sick, require oxygen, get intubated, or possibly die I want to travel the world, hug people, and enjoy a concert/movie My freedom to choose was removed! I was forced to get vaccinated! #AntivaxLogic

In the 2010s, adult flu vaccine uptake never broke 50%. It's so predictable that we don't even make shots for 1/3 of the population. A lot of that is because people don't take flu seriously. But folks, you should and I'll tell you why. Here's the FULL case for flu vaccination🧵

BIG CHANGES coming to Northwest Pediatrics this year. Looking forward to working with Tiffanie and more additions coming soon!

When we immunize children, it’s a lot like helping them learn to read. Vaccines are beginner texts that our body uses to practice comprehending a virus. A literate immune system can keep kids healthy…so that they can focus on kid stuff (like reading the books they love!)
