Update: New Covid vaccine limits released today
Only 65+ or those with health conditions (including pregnancy) eligible
Data indicate vaccines are associated with reduced Covid risk for everyone — as well as reduced risk of spread in their communities, including through children’s schools

The stories of the pregnant people who have died of Covid are tragic.
Many leave behind young kids, like this mom of 6.
We want to prevent every one of these deaths & hospitalizations that we can.

Households with children are disproportionately affected by poverty, food insufficiency, & housing insecurity — especially in Southern states
Programs to support economic security for children — such as Head Start, WIC, & SNAP — are especially important to maintain

Infants typically get their first vaccine at 12 months
Note that the CDC recommends infants can get their vaccine any time after 6 months if there may be exposure through travel, e.g. on airplanes, trains, & buses
Older children can also get their 2nd dose early
