Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins and DCHHS Director Dr. Huang offered a presser this Monday emphasizing the importance of vaccination ahead of the summer. ✅ The recommendations include Covid-19 spring boosters for adults 65+, as well as mpox vaccines for high risk individuals.

We need a Special Session on school funding NOW!
