We’re committed to sharing news and information from local and national media about COVID-19, available vaccines, and immunization-related topics. Each edition we’ll review clips from across the U.S., from various news outlets and platforms, and bring you ten timely and relevant links.

In December, I joined thousands of frontline workers across the country and received my COVID-19 vaccine! The shot didn’t hurt at all, but there were still tears. Tears for the 310,935 people in this country and the additional 1.3 M worldwide who’ve lost their lives to COVID. Tears because it’s been 11 months since I last hugged my mom. Tears for all my kiddos who have been asked to sacrifice and for the grace with which they’ve handled it all. Tears because, quite frankly, as a frontline worker I’m exhausted.

As a food allergy advocate and parent of two children with food allergies, my mantra is "scrutinize every morsel of food, beverage or medication" that will enter your body. Living with food allergies requires Sherlock Holmes-like skill in keeping allergens out of the body. This means that as the COVID-19 vaccination becomes more available, people managing or caring for those who have food allergies need to apply their super-sleuthing abilities to confirm the vaccination's safety.
