AMENDMENT TO JANUARY NEWSLETTER

 

 

CLARIFICATION ON STATEMENT MADE IN OUR LAST NEWSLETTER

In recent months, there has been a significant increase in children hospitalized with COVID and MIS-C (Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome—a serious condition related to COVID).  We feel it is important to note that the vast majority hospitalized were either unvaccinated or unable to be vaccinated.  We strongly support vaccination and boosting for all children.
