Importance: High Sorry Stan..maore questions from the Senator A few follow up questions from Sen. Stabenow’s office (Katie Bergh}: Earlier in October, we had said there are 855 infants in WIC in Flint. Do wa have a breakdown of how many are fully forrnula fed, partially breastfed, and fully breastfed? Can we get any numbers from the State on how many participants have exchanged their formula for RTF, and how many have been given vouchers for RTE? Do we have catalis on the proactive coramunication plan to reach out to all affected participants who may not be coming inte the clinic? How and when wil that communication happen? Katie has heard that there may be issues with retail availability of RTF, but she was not apecific. Is the State aware of any stocking issues? Can participants get REF at the clinic if it is not available at their WIC store, and are they informed of this option? Katie also rnentioned that Sen. Stabenow may do a press release or some other announcement to publicize the availability of RTF. Flease let me know if we would have any concerns with that or suggestions for haw she could be most helpful, xxxEND_PAGE:dhhs02_b1173_4499_4500_2
