Schumer has launched his two-pronged push in Syracuse calling on the feds and medicine manufacturers to get all hands-on deck to ensure doctors across New York and America have the support they need to keep our kids safe.</p>\r\n<p>In a letter to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Schumer said it is imperative that with new doses being distributed, those vaccines get to pediatric clinics on the frontlines ASAP, like those in Central NY, who have been seeing vaccine shortages. Schumer said it is especially important to get these doses to pediatricians because they are the first line of defense in protecting children and most often where parents go first. Secondly, the senator said it is vital the drug manufacturers work with all levels of the federal government to ramp up supply now, fix supply chain issues so that all those who need the vaccines are able to get it.</p>"}}
