Do you want an updated COVID vaccine this fall?

Let the FDA Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee know by submitting a public comment by May 27, 2026!

You do not need to write anything elaborate. The most important thing right now is to send a message to the FDA VRBPAC in support of vaccines.

Let them know
1. COVID vaccines must continue to be updated at least once a year to match circulating strains.
2. We need updated COVID vaccines for fall, ideally by July-August prior to the start of the K-12 school year.
3. COVID vaccines must be made available for people of all ages, 6 months and up, regardless of medical history.
4. The FDA and other federal agencies must allow publication of recently blocked studies on COVID and other vaccine safety and effectiveness.

It’s International Dark Sky Week (April 13-20, 2026), an annual event held each April during the week of the new moon to celebrate the wonder and importance of the night and raise awareness about the harmful effects of #LightPollution

From the darkness that supports critical wildlife ecosystems to the star-filled skies we enjoy, the night is filled with wonder and importance.

This year’s theme invites people to discover the night by making an active choice: to “go dark” and experience natural darkness firsthand.
