Also FYI, the majority of Colorado River water used for “farms” in the below graphic is actually for cattle feed (alfalfa and hay). The minority of the agricultural water use is for food people eat directly, like wheat. science.nasa.gov/missions/lan...

If the vaccine isn’t covered under the federal program, some families would face higher out-of-pocket costs or have to get the vaccines separately instead of the single combined shot. That would lower convenience and reduce uptake, which would, in turn, leave more children unprotected!
