AAFP Condemns Rise in Violence Against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders:

Interesting, right? Turns out that @aafp was right - people want to get their COVID vaccine at their physician’s office. Let’s listen to people and resource primary care and let them do what their patients want them to do - vaccinate people.

From AAFP CEO/EVP @rshawnm: "It is critical that we further engage primary care physicians to help us reach the necessary COVID-19 vaccination rate." This blog post explains why these physicians are best positioned with patients to move the needle:

Family Physicians Praise Biden Administration for Focusing on Health Equity:

Executive Orders Will Protect Public Health Through Access to Needed Care and Affordable Coverage:

This plan is a great start, but the failure to prioritize the utilization of the nation's family physicians in the vaccine distribution strategy is a mistake. You cannot vaccinate 100+ million people if you ignore primary care physicians.

"Family physicians can play an important role in helping our country effectively respond to this horrible pandemic, and we are eager to partner with the Biden administration for this critical work.” https://t.co/RgrjonnWro

"Many doctors’ groups will seek a buyer, whether a hospital, an insurance company or a private equity firm that plans to roll up practices into a larger business." Doctors Are Calling It Quits Under Stress of the Pandemic
