Hi Neighbor:

I want to bring to your attention that COVID-19 cases in Alameda County have rapidly increased and we are now in the “HIGH RISK” category. The CDC recommends that we mask (N95 or KN95 offer the best protection) on public transportation, indoors and around those not in our immediate household. I also want to highlight our wins to fund vital community services from the June 30, 2022, Council Meeting FY 21-23 Mid Cycle Budget Amendments!

On June 17th, 2022 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized emergency use of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 to include use in children as young as 6 months of age. You can read more about how the FDA determined the vaccines are safe and effective for our youngest children in their press release.

This is an important moment for our Head Start children. Children under 5 are the last to have COVID-19 vaccine access, leaving them vulnerable to the disease and subject to quarantine after exposure. COVID-19 has caused illness as well as weeks of missed school for too many children. Hundreds have lost their life. COVID-19 vaccines are one of the tools we use to keep our classrooms, home visits, and socializations safe. The safety and efficacy data show that the benefit of the vaccine for children and adults far outweighs the risk of side effects of the vaccine.
