Dear parents/caretakers:
If getting a #Flushot, or some other #immunization, pls never, ever put the decision to an eligible child all of a sudden-It all but GUARANTEES the outcome. If we must discuss it, that is fine. We can make time. Otherwise it amounts to a set up.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.
It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.
This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.
