A consortium of Down syndrome organizations, including the Jerome Lejeune Foundation, has published a new resource regarding how coronavirus affects people with Down syndrome. Available in both English and Spanish, it builds on the previously released coronavirus resource, providing updated information about testing, vaccines, ways to stay safe, and advocacy for appropriate care and in hospital settings.
Whether you’re wondering whether someone with Down syndrome should receive the vaccine, what activities to resume, or how to support good mental health with ongoing challenges due to coronavirus, this resource is a valuable tool for those with Down syndrome and their loved ones.
