- Replying to @ShaziaMSiddiqueSo THANK YOU to the @US_FDA for giving us the opportunity to make an informed decision. For all the health systems that have told HCWs they cannot get it if they are pregnant/BFing, PLEASE reconsider your policy now! And for those still creating a policy, the FDA guidance is out
- Replying to @ShaziaMSiddiqueWhy were women excluded from the trials? Lots of reasons, but mostly historic precedent, concerns about delaying approval, etc. But as the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine @MySMFM puts it, "the practice of 'protection by exclusion' is harmful" and is a detriment to women.

- Replying to @ShaziaMSiddiqueFinally, for HCWs who are high risk, protection against COVID19 is paramount. Women are tired of being brushed aside in HC. BFing HCWs are already crowded into renovated janitor's closets (aka lactation rooms) while serving on our frontlines.
