Got my #flushot and #COVID19booster today. No issues with getting both at the same time, just two mildly sore arms. Glad to have this extra protection for me and my family heading into a bad respiratory viral season.

Love that my husband @BDeHaven616 uses his resemblance to Steve Kornacki to teach science and he couldn’t resist teaching us all a little something in this clip. Also a good reminder to remember to #vote tomorrow! nbcphiladelphia.com/decision-2022/…

The results of this test will decide whether we escalate preparedness activities while simultaneously responding to an extreme viral season. Buckle up #infectionpreventionposse

Consider #measles when seeing unvaccinated kids with fever + rash starting in the face and traveling down. Kids get really sick with 3 C’s: cough, coryza and conjunctivitis + recent travel (21d) to Columbus, Ohio.

Cannot find information about measles in OH, Ebola in the UK or just local flu activity. CDC is wks behind with flu data & local DOH isn’t better. Hospitals are bursting. We need data for preparedness & decision making with only news articles to rely on. Help us CDC Director

While other states are engaged in the business of bigotry, we're protecting fundamental rights.  As Michigan's governor, I’ll always defend the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community.  If you seek a pleasant peninsula (or two) where your rights are protected, look no further!
