The state is receiving more vaccine doses, and DOH is asking neighbor island health officials to expand vaccine eligibility to ensure ALL available vaccinations slots are filled. They will be considering their island’s unique characteristics as they make the call on eligibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Use it or lose it! Do you still have money on your Hawaii Restaurant Card? There is $476k remaining on 20,000 cards, but the cards expire on Wednesday. Make sure to purchase food for you and your family before then. The cards were given to beneficiaries of unemployment last year. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve approved Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi’s request to add weddings as a category in Tier 3. @MayorRickHNL listened to residents concerns and came up with a framework to allow weddings in a safe way. Some of the rules are as follows: https://t.co/BKYMCDsBjx — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pleased to announce beginning Monday, those 60 and older will now be eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The state has been working to get residents vaccinated quickly and we continue to be ranked one of the top states by the CDC for administering vaccine doses per capita. — PolitiTweet.org

Hawaii hit 122 COVID-19 cases today. We've been doing well the last couple weeks, but this is a good reminder for everyone to wear your masks, wash your hands, and watch your distance. This cluster report shows where some of the cases have popped up in the last two weeks. https://t.co/9Zm3L5hjHJ — PolitiTweet.org

@SparkBibo If she needs help registering, we also just launched a Kupuna Call Center. She just has to dial 2-1-1 and they can help get her registered, and even arrange for transportation if she needs it. Mahalo. — PolitiTweet.org

@SparkBibo Here is a direct link she can use to register to get vaccinated at CVS with available appointments: https://t.co/m3nZhoo0m4 If she chooses not to use CVS, there are multiple others options. — PolitiTweet.org

@SparkBibo Aloha, I did address this in a live interview with the Star Advertiser yesterday and said we are pretty much on track to meet the May 1 deadline, but may be behind a week or two. Regarding your aunt - appointments are available as early as today. — PolitiTweet.org

A huge mahalo to @Zippys for helping to keep Hawaii residents safe. The “AlohaSafe Alert,” app, launched by DOH, lets you know if you’ve come into contact with someone who later tests positive for COVID-19. Zippy’s has offered a 25% off discount on breakfast bentos ... (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

@Chris71062398 No problem, Chris. Best to you and your wife. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

@Chris71062398 You're right, it does help. Though the efficacy is 95% -meaning there is always a small chance someone could still contract COVID, but they will likely have little to no symptoms. The hope again, is to avoid hospitalizations and deaths. Mahalo. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

@Chris71062398 The vaccine can help prevent serious hospitalizations and deaths if someone were to get COVID-19. The hope is to keep people, like your wife, as safe as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

@Chris71062398 Hi Chris, it's difficult to pinpoint a specific reason because I'm not sure about the details surrounding your wife's case. That said, the COVID-19 vaccine can help prevent someone from getting COVID, but it does not eliminate the risk completely. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

For kupuna who need help registering for the COVID-19 vaccine, the “kupuna call center” has been launched. It's open daily from 7 am - 10 pm. Specialists can help them navigate registration, get an appointment, and arrange for transportation. The number to call is 2-1-1. — PolitiTweet.org

Help is here if you need health insurance. The American Rescue Plan Act that @POTUS signed has provisions that provide a 100-percent COBRA subsidy for up to six months and extends subsidies to higher-income individuals. View more here: https://t.co/eibIk5kP4E — PolitiTweet.org

For the second time in as many weeks, our nation pauses to grieve for the lives of Americans who died in a senseless act of gun violence. The families and friends of the 10 Americans killed yesterday are forever changed by this tragedy, and the people of Hawaiʻi send our Aloha. — PolitiTweet.org

At the direction of the president, I've ordered the U.S. flag and the Hawai‘i state flag to be flown at half-staff to honor the victims of a mass shooting yesterday in Boulder, Colorado. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

Another deadly shooting has occurred in the United States for the second time in less than a week. No one should have to fear being gunned down in a supermarket, their workplace, or anywhere they go. My condolences go out to the victims and their families during this time. — PolitiTweet.org
