- On Nov. 23, writer, actor, director and comedian @bjnovak brought smiles to patients and families at @TexasChildrens. He treated them to a special reading of his critically-acclaimed, bestselling children’s book, “The Book With No Pictures.” Thanks for the laughs, B.J.!
- Congratulations to Dr. @PeterHotez for receiving the 2021 David E. Rogers Award! Sponsored by @RWJF & @AAMCtoday, the award honors a medical school faculty member who has made major contributions to improving the health & health care of the American people ow.ly/w1ZO50GeRdO

- Roses are red, violets are blue, send a sweet card to a brave patient, signed by you. Make a child’s Valentine’s Day by sending them a special card. This year, @DirectEnergy will donate $1 with each card you send! texaschildrens.org/valentine
- Since meeting @JJWatt, things continue to look up for Will. Last week he rang #TexasChildrens end of treatment bell!
00:00 - CORBEVAX, otherwise known as “The World’s COVID-19 Vaccine,” relies on a traditional recombinant protein-based technology used in vaccines such as the ones against hepatitis B and HPV. What a great gift to humanity as we continue to fight this pandemic. ow.ly/54yU50Hk79T
- 1/2: "Enough is enough. Over the last 2 weeks alone, there have been 26 mass shootings across the US — five of which were in the state of Texas. Today, along with #TexasChildrens leadership, I'm choosing to take a stand and use my voice to help speak for these innocent victims."
- Drs. @PeterHotez & @mebottazzi created Corbevax as a cheap & easy-to-produce option to fill global gaps in vaccine coverage. It uses a safe & traditional vaccine technology that has been used for decades & is easier for other countries to make themselves.
