President's Message, November 2021
Trude Haecker, MD, FAAP
THANK YOU & HAPPY GIVING SEASON!
I hope you had some time to rest and connect with family over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. As we enter the 2021 holiday season, I am thankful for all of you and for the Chapter leadership as we have navigated some very challenging times. I had hoped to not mention COVID this month but, sadly, the news continues to evolve with the new Omicron variant capturing the attention of the world. It really does seem like it is “All COVID- All the Time!” Thank you for all you are doing every day for almost 2 years now! We are all continuing to manage COVID cases with fall and winter illnesses and getting vaccines administered-–COVID influenza, catch-up vaccines and, oh by the way, Palivizumab, too. Consequently, the Chapter continues to meet on a weekly basis with a PA Dept. of Health representative regarding COVID, and we will continue emailing our biweekly Friday COVID updates until the virus no longer impacts our patients and families.
