Remember when we almost had a black women president who led with peace, poise, power, promise, equity and justice?

Overwhelming to think of where we are and where we could be.. there will be a right & wrong side of history and I know where I stand.

We fight on. #Vaccines #PublicHealth

Vaccine counseling is key. Just this week we had several patients decline because of misinformation.

οΏΌMYTH VERSUS FACT οΏΌ
The MMR vaccine is one of the most studied and safest vaccines in the world. It protects against three serious diseasesβ€”and gives your child a healthy start in life. Don’t let misinformation put your baby at risk. #MMRMatters #FactsOverFear #MFMKnowsBest #Obstetrics #Vaccination

By protecting yourself, you’re helping create a bubble of safety around your child.

Ask your family medicine, primary care, MFM, OB/GYN or pediatrician about getting your MMR vaccine today.

πŸ”” Just had a baby? Let’s talk about your MMR status.

If you weren’t fully vaccinated or immune to measles before pregnancy, postpartum is a great time to get caught up. Measles is highly contagious and dangerous for infants.

Consider asking about early vaccination for your newborn between 6-11 months! @medicalcollegeofwi.bsky.social @froedtert.bsky.social @tiffanylgreen.bsky.social @irpwisc.bsky.social @blackmidwifery.bsky.social @acog-org.bsky.social #ObGynSky #MFMSky #ObstetricsSky #PerinatalSky #VaccinationSky

The MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) is safe, effective, and the best way to protect your child from serious illness.

Your baby gets their first dose at 12 monthsβ€”but you can start protecting them today by making sure YOU (and anyone around them) are immune.

Measles is backβ€”and newborns are too young to be vaccinated. As an MFM, I’m here to remind you: Protecting your baby doesn’t stop at birth.

Zorba Paster: The measles outbreak is no joke. Get your child vaccinated. Wisconsin ranks No. 49 out of 50 states in measles vaccination rates for children. Dr. Zorba Paster writes, "How did that happen? Are we just lazy? Or are we just dumb?"

www.wpr.org/culture/zorb...

Wisconsin not something to be proud of 49th out of 50th.
