I had seen that page, but hadnt clicked through to start the process - thank you for that. We do have a permanent disabled parking placard and card for DD, so it sounds like that would be enough to qualify for the priority access.

You’re welcome! Hope you don’t need it, but good to know just in case!

Thank you!

Thank you, all! I’ll keep researching and see what I can find

Thank you for checking in :)

According to this article from May 12, paxlovid should still be free (original article was March, updated in May) “The drug, developed by Pfizer, has a lot of positives: It had an 89% reduction in the risk of hospitalization and death in the clinical trial that supported the EUA, a number that...

We are contemplating taking DD (10) to Disneyland Paris in January 2023. In some brief research I’ve done so far, I’ve seen the information about the Priority Cards and Easy Access Cards. DD has a rare genetic condition that is not on the list of conditions provided for the Easy Access Card, so...

Whether you agree with this example or not, fear of prosecution and lawsuits is absolutely impacting peoples decision to remain in nursing. A very good friend of mine recently left bedside nursing for this very reason. Her hospital did not have the staffing to safely serve patients according to...

I was simply sharing experience in 1 hospital in my local area, and what the professionals in those hospitals were sharing. I wasn’t speaking to nationwide trends 🤷‍♀️

We are actually not in what the cdc considers low numbers anymore, as their new metrics are in part based on hospitalizations. We are in medium, and rising. And loss of staff from the pandemic is still a direct result of the pandemic..and the more the remaining staff continue to deal with...

The son is in the hospital for reasons related to his condition. Many children here have not been vaccinated, and of those who have been, booster rates are poor. In my specific county, while vaccine rates for 12-15 are 94%, and 98% for 16-17 y/o, the rate for 5-11 y/o is only 59%. Booster...

a friend of mine’s son went to the ER last night. He has a rare, eventually terminal condition. High level of need. The wait in the Children’s Hospital ER was 10 hours. They were admitted last night, but he is currently still in the ER because there are no beds in the hospital for her child...

Yep. DD's specialists hadn't felt she needed it earlier as she's not immunocompromised, but has higher risk factors. I'll be checking in with them again.

Our county is back in medium according to new CDC guidelines. which to my understanding is now based more on hospitalizations. CDC level was low when I had to go in to the ER last month (ended up with unexpected surgery a few days later), and wait times for the ER were really high then. I...
