Hi all,

The Massachusetts legislature needs to hear from us!  They're holding a hearing on the State's COVID distribution plans

Please see below the Massachusetts House of Representatives announcement on an oversight hearing tomorrow, Thursday, February 25th.

We want to tell the Joint Committee:

• Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes are at as much risk, if not higher, as people with Type 2 Diabetes for complications due to COVID.
• Denying the science puts an estimated 35,000 of the 680,771 adults with diabetes in MA receiving their vaccine later than others with the same risks.   
• Include supporting data studies (curated on our website https://gett1dthecovidvax.org/

Thank you,

Jessica
