🎅 As Bobby recovers at UCLA, he told me that this was his Christmas wish - and he'd love to go home to Utah, too. I'd also like Joe Biden to be in the White House this Christmas - wouldn't we all?
Let's be prepared to house Bobby at UCLA as an outpatient!

Hep B isn't the souvenir u want from ur child accidentally picking up the wrong sippy cup or ur teen grabbing someone else's razor. It's 50-100 X more spreadable than HIV, The vaccine is safe, effective and way easier the lifelong liver damage. Protect ur child & their liver. Share hugs not germs.

Unlike most vaccine-preventable diseases, hepatitis B is asymptomatic and spreads silently until infected people develop liver cancer or cirrhosis in their midlife. It’s one of the cancers with the highest mortality in the U.S with a 6 month life expectancy.

Friends, Yesterday and today, I watched many hours of the CDC’s meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
It was painful.
But we learned a lot.

Never. Lose. Hope.
And since Bobby has arrived at Reagan Medical Center at UCLA he exemplifies that mantra.
After 60 days of poking, prodding, testing, scanning and surgeries -- Bobby is going to return home better than ever!
