My adult children do not want to lose a second parent in a short period of time.”⠀ ⠀ For Barbara, a vaccine means peace of mind, and the ability to see family. “I am looking forward to... worrying a little less about contracting COVID, and seeing my children and grandchildren, hopefully in the spring.”⠀ ⠀ Midwives like Barbara have risked their own health to deliver babies throughout the pandemic. To safe-guard them as they care for mothers and newborns, we must prioritize vaccines for health workers.」1月16日 14時05分
