Today is a momentous day. At the CDC, we will lead with science to distribute the vaccine quickly, equitably, conveniently and safely. To speed our path to recovery, we must give the vaccine less work to do. Please do your part by wearing a mask. buzzfeednews.com/article/amberj…

Not seeing our loved ones, not being able to be together or embrace each other, is incredibly hard. I know people are frustrated. But we need your patience just a little while longer. Your 9-1-1 call is being answered.

I’m proud that my husband Dr. Loren Walensky got the COVID-19 vaccine today. He’s on the front lines caring for children with cancer at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Please stay safe…more vaccines are coming!

Opioid use disorder does not discriminate—It crosses geographic, demographic, and socio-economic lines. Vivek Murthy, Xavier Becerra, and I will work together in the name of every person and family who has suffered to combat this epidemic and prevent further addiction and loss.

In thinking about silver linings from a harrowing 2020, at the top of my list is this beautiful baby girl born to one of my very first pediatric cancer patients - a miracle survivor of multiple relapses and now a beaming Dad. Picture posted below with parental permission 🄰

Help is here; vaccine rollout is underway. But vaccines will not get us out of our current surge. Please wear a mask, social distance, and make smart decisions—especially for the holidays—to keep your loved ones and neighbors safe.

The road ahead will be challenging and together we can get through it. The CDC will be committed to the science, promoting public trust, transparency, and communicating to the American people the good and the bad news when we know it.

Today, I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at MassGeneral News. I've never had more faith in the promise of science and the power of hope to get us through this. I urge all Americans to get vaccinated as soon as you're able, wear a mask, and stop the spread.

Studies have demonstrated the COVID-19 vaccine is safe. The vaccine gives us hope. And I urge everyone to take it once it is available. Until then and after you are vaccinated, please continue to stay safe and vigilant.
