The Nebraska Department of Education and Children’s Hospital & Medical Center are teaming up to amplify voices in support of vaccinating all students across Nebraska.

Physicians and providers from communities across Nebraska are invited to sign on to a statement of support. Signatures are being collected through an online portal at www.neprovidersforthevax.org. The goal is to collect signatures by Tuesday — when a statewide press conference is planned in support of COVID-19 vaccinations for kids ages 5 and older.

Please contact Holly Dingman, director of Children’s Center for the Child & Community, with any questions.
