  • CDC Downgrades Vaccine Recommendations as Flu Surge Kills Children and Measles Cases Rise Across US States

    CDC Downgrades Vaccine Recommendations as Flu Surge Kills Children and Measles Cases Rise Across US States
    2026/01/13
    Listeners, as of today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its childhood immunization schedule, downgrading recommendations for several key vaccines including influenza, RSV, COVID-19, meningococcal disease, rotavirus, and hepatitis A and B from universal to shared clinical decision-making or high-risk only, according to the CDC's January 5 announcement reported by Word in Black and IDSE. Public health experts from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America warn this comes amid a severe flu surge—the worst in 25 years—already claiming at least nine children's lives this season, with Massachusetts reporting its first pediatric flu deaths since 2013, per CIDRAP and ProMED.

    ProMED reports ongoing measles concerns in the US, including a confirmed case in Georgia by the Department of Public Health—the state's first in 2026—and surges in South Carolina with over 200 quarantined, plus cases in North Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio, Idaho, Arizona, and Utah. Whooping cough, or pertussis, is rising in California, and states like Massachusetts reject the new CDC guidance as reckless, citing measles outbreaks and flu deaths.

    Other alerts include vesicular stomatitis confirmed in a horse in Arizona by ProMED, new world screwworm noted by the CDC, rabies in a Texas fox, HIV cases in Maine, and tuberculosis possibly linked in a North Carolina high school. The FDA has removed alcohol from dietary guidelines, advising limits to reduce cancer and heart risks, per Faces and Voices of Recovery.

    The Pan American Health Organization issued an alert for influenza and RSV across the Americas. Experts urge handwashing, staying home when sick, and following evidence-based advice from groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics despite federal changes.

  • CDC Warns of High Flu RSV and Measles Activity This Winter Urges Vaccination and Prevention

    CDC Warns of High Flu RSV and Measles Activity This Winter Urges Vaccination and Prevention
    2026/01/10
    Public health officials in the United States are currently warning listeners about several key health concerns.

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, respiratory viruses remain a major issue this winter. Seasonal influenza activity is high nationwide, with the CDC estimating at least 15 million flu illnesses, 180,000 hospitalizations, and thousands of deaths so far this season. ABC News, citing CDC data, reports that flu activity remains elevated even as some regions are seeing small declines in positive tests. Health authorities continue to urge listeners to get vaccinated if they have not yet done so, and to stay home when sick, wash hands frequently, and wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces if they are vulnerable.

    The University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy reports that respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, also remains elevated, particularly affecting young children, with emergency visits and hospitalizations up among those 0 to 4 years old. COVID-19 continues to contribute to hospitalizations, and federal officials expect the 2025–2026 respiratory season to have a similar burden from COVID, flu, and RSV as last year. Older adults, infants, pregnant people, and those with chronic conditions are strongly encouraged to stay current on recommended vaccines and to seek prompt care for trouble breathing, chest pain, or confusion.

    Measles is another concern. ProMED, an international disease surveillance network run by the International Society for Infectious Diseases, has posted recent alerts on measles cases in multiple U.S. states, including North Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio, Idaho, Arizona, Utah, and South Carolina, reflecting ongoing outbreaks tied to gaps in vaccination. Public health agencies stress that measles is highly contagious and that two doses of the MMR vaccine provide strong protection. Anyone exposed who is not fully vaccinated should contact their health provider or local health department quickly.

    There are also important national policy changes. On January 5, 2026, the CDC revised the childhood vaccine schedule, cutting the number of diseases for which vaccines are routinely recommended from 17 to 11. Coverage in Time magazine, AFP Fact Check, and analyses from the University of California, Berkeley and state and local health departments explain that vaccines for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, rotavirus, influenza, and RSV are now recommended mainly for high-risk children or through shared decision-making with a clinician. Pediatric and infectious disease experts, including the Infectious Diseases Society of America, warn that this may increase the risk of outbreaks if families misinterpret these vaccines as unnecessary and emphasize that these vaccines remain available, safe, and effective.

  • Childhood Vaccine Changes and Winter Health Risks: What Parents Need to Know About Measles, Flu, and COVID-19

    Childhood Vaccine Changes and Winter Health Risks: What Parents Need to Know About Measles, Flu, and COVID-19
    2026/01/08
    Public health alerts in the United States today center on changes to childhood vaccination policy, ongoing measles activity, and typical winter respiratory risks, especially flu and COVID.According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, federal guidance has recently reduced the number of vaccines that are universally recommended for every child, cutting the list of routinely recommended diseases from 17 down to 11. ABC affiliate WGHP in North Carolina reports that this means shots for illnesses such as COVID‑19, hepatitis A and B, rotavirus, and influenza are no longer in the core “for every child” schedule, though the vaccines themselves remain available and generally covered by insurance. North Carolina public health leaders quoted in that report stress that the science supporting these vaccines has not changed; what changed is federal policy about which ones are pushed as routine for all children, and this has created confusion for many families. They emphasize that parents should talk directly with their child’s clinician about staying protected against these dropped diseases, especially COVID and hepatitis, which can still cause severe illness.The overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule has triggered strong concern among many health experts and lawmakers. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reports that public health specialists warn the change could leave children less protected against a half‑dozen serious diseases and reverse decades of progress against preventable infections. A press release summarized by Quiver Quantitative describes how more than one hundred members of Congress have called on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to restore the prior childhood immunization schedule and fully reinstate the independent Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, arguing that weakening routine vaccination endangers children and families and undermines long‑standing scientific consensus.In practical terms, the key alert for listeners is this: even if a vaccine is no longer labeled as “universally recommended,” you can usually still get it, and many pediatricians will still advise it based on a child’s risk, local disease activity, and school requirements. Listeners should check with their state or local health department and their child’s doctor to clarify what is required for school entry, what is strongly advised, and what is merely optional on paper but still medically wise.Measles remains a specific concern. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, cited in coverage by WGHP, has confirmed several recent measles cases linked to an outbreak that began in South Carolina, and officials warn that pockets of low vaccination make communities vulnerable to wider spread. Measles is highly contagious and can be serious, especially for young children and those with weakened immune systems. Health authorities urge listeners to be alert for high fever, cough, red watery eyes, tiny white spots inside the mouth, and a red blotchy rash that starts on the face and spreads to the body. Anyone who suspects measles should call ahead before visiting a clinic or emergency department so staff can take precautions to avoid exposing others.Seasonal flu is another ongoing public health focus. North Carolina’s recent report, again highlighted by WGHP, documented dozens of flu‑related deaths so far this season, and officials warn that the season is still developing. Public health agencies across the country continue to recommend a flu shot for almost everyone six months and older, especially older adults, pregnant people, those with chronic conditions, and young children. Standard prevention guidance still applies: wash hands frequently, cover coughs and sneezes, clean high‑touch surfaces, stay home when sick, and avoid close contact with vulnerable people if you have respiratory symptoms.COVID‑19 remains in circulation, though official recommendations may be shifting along with the broader vaccine policy changes. Listeners should pay attention to local health department updates about new variants, case trends, and any renewed guidance on masking in healthcare settings or crowded indoor spaces, particularly for older adults and those with medical risk factors. Clinicians continue to emphasize that staying current on COVID vaccination, when available and recommended, reduces the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death.Because disease patterns, outbreaks, and policies can vary by state and even county, public health agencies encourage listeners to check the latest information from their local health department, state health agency, or the CDC’s official website for timely alerts, travel notices, and outbreak updates, especially before international travel or large gatherings.Thank you for tuning in, and remember to subscribe so you do not miss future health updates.
