Along the side of the notebook are tabs in alternating colors of light blue and orange. Each tab reads as follows in dark blue text: “medical freedom act, goal of model nation, public health consequences, and potential ripple effects.” In the middle of the notebook, there is light blue text that reads: “Political Framing: Proponents cast vaccine requirements as a violation of “basic human rights” to personal medical decision‑making. While autonomy is important, public‑health policy balances individual liberty with collective safety; removing mandates tips that balance toward unchecked spread.” In the top left corner of the notebook is a vaccine vial with a syringe and a red circle with a diagonal line through it, indicating banned.

but they do not track stock. Call ahead to confirm.

The Vaccines for Children program can now order Covid vaccines for kids aged 6 months and older so we will be seeing more orders over the next few weeks. Access to the Covid-19 vaccine should become easier, especially for underinsured children.
