  • CDC Vaccine Recommendations Shift: Key Changes to Measles, COVID-19, and Childhood Immunization Policies Spark Public Health Debate

    CDC Vaccine Recommendations Shift: Key Changes to Measles, COVID-19, and Childhood Immunization Policies Spark Public Health Debate
    2025/11/06
    Listeners, public health alerts in the United States today focus on important updates affecting vaccine policies, infectious diseases, and crisis response. According to the latest ProMED reports, there are currently active outbreaks and public health surveillance for several infectious diseases. Notable alerts include ongoing cases of vesicular stomatitis in horses in Arizona, salmonellosis of the Enteritidis serotype, and legionellosis likely linked to healthcare settings in Cincinnati, Ohio. Measles cases were recently reported in South Carolina and Idaho, alongside a continued presence of hand, foot and mouth disease in Virginia, New Mexico, and Michigan. On animal health and its intersection with human safety, tularemia cases have been detected in Colorado, and alpha-gal syndrome—a tick-borne allergy—continues to rise nationwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee is making key changes to national vaccine recommendations. As shared by KFF Health News, the committee is considering no longer recommending the combined MMRV vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox, as a single shot for young children. Instead, parents may need to get separate doses for these diseases, which could result in more doctor visits and a risk of lower vaccine compliance. CDC advisers are also looking at restricting the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, weighing individual clinical decision-making for vaccination rather than blanket recommendations. These changes are generating controversy, with public health experts warning that inconsistent guidance could lead to confusion, lower immunization rates, and potentially outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Coverage for the COVID-19 vaccine remains in place for all non-grandfathered health plans, as outlined in the vaccine schedule adopted by the CDC director on October 6, 2025, but the FDA’s official recommendation now directs updated COVID-19 shots toward people over 65 or those 6 months to 65 years old who have underlying conditions, which is broadly defined. The ACIP’s new vaccine recommendations stress shared decision-making, encouraging individuals to discuss with clinicians which vaccines make sense for them. The rising complexity of vaccine policy comes against a backdrop of political changes at the CDC and federal health agencies, including restructuring of vaccine advisory bodies and changes to child vaccine schedules, as detailed by Segal Consulting and KFF Health News. Experts caution that parents should stay in close communication with pediatricians to track updated requirements, particularly for measles and chickenpox immunizations, since changes in the schedule could affect participation in the widely used Vaccines for Children program. Separately, mental health crisis response protocols continue to be updated at the local government level, as seen in Montgomery County, Maryland, where officials are reviewing emergency call policies for 911 and mental health crisis lines to ensure the system is responsive during times of peak need. Listeners are encouraged to maintain vigilance regarding food safety as sporadic reports of listeriosis linked to ready-to-eat meals and salmonella outbreaks associated with specific foods continue to surface. Infectious disease and vaccine updates remain fast-moving, so listeners are strongly advised to consult with healthcare providers regarding any questions on vaccination requirements, eligibility, or public health alerts.

  • Public Health Alert Urgent Nationwide Outbreak Salmonella Dietary Supplements Whooping Cough COVID Vaccine Policy Changes Impact Millions

    Public Health Alert Urgent Nationwide Outbreak Salmonella Dietary Supplements Whooping Cough COVID Vaccine Policy Changes Impact Millions
    2025/11/04
    Today, listeners across the United States should note several active public health alerts and advisories. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently identified a multi-state salmonella outbreak traced to a dietary supplement containing moringa leaf powder. Eleven people in seven states, including Virginia, Kansas, Florida, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and South Carolina, have become ill, with three requiring hospitalization. All lot codes and best-by dates of the Member’s Mark Super Greens supplement sold at Sam’s Club stores nationwide and online are affected. The CDC strongly advises people to not eat, return, or throw away any Member's Mark Super Greens with moringa, given the product recall was triggered by contamination from a single lot supplied by Vallon Farm Direct in India.

    The Food and Drug Administration is also alerting the public about toxic yellow oleander detected in some dietary supplements as of November 3. Analytical testing by the FDA found yellow oleander, a poisonous plant known to cause severe cardiac and gastrointestinal symptoms, in multiple products. Consumers are urged to review updates at fda.gov to check if their supplements are implicated and immediately discontinue any listed product.

    Listeners in Texas should take special note: the Texas Department of State Health Services has reported a significant increase in pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, for 2025. With cases on the rise, especially among children and unvaccinated individuals, vigilance and prompt health care consultation are advised, particularly for caregivers and healthcare providers working with infants and people with compromised immunity.

    The CDC guidance for COVID-19 vaccination has changed this fall. Patients must now consult with a healthcare provider before receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, even though a prescription is not strictly required. This joint decision-making process, known as shared clinical decision-making, could introduce new barriers for some, especially those lacking regular access to healthcare. The current CDC policy enables continued access, particularly benefiting children through the Vaccines for Children program, but advocacy groups caution that these steps may exacerbate disparities for uninsured and underinsured populations. For the COVID-19 vaccine, those ages 6 months and older are still eligible, though people over 65 and high-risk individuals remain the primary focus under updated FDA guidance. Additionally, new recommendations mean that toddlers should receive their first measles and chickenpox vaccines separately to reduce a rare risk of seizures.

    Turning to federal and state policy, the government shutdown is affecting public health infrastructure and essential benefits. As of November, the federal government is only able to provide Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits at half of the usual monthly amount due to a court-ordered funding limitation and the government shutdown. Department of Agriculture officials caution that these partial payments may face weeks or months of administrative delays. This has a direct impact on food security for millions, and further litigation is under way to restore full funding. The government shutdown has also forced the closure of many Head Start centers, disrupting childcare and critical services for low-income families, according to recent news from The Daily Record.

    Listeners should also be aware of new discussions designating domestic violence as a public health crisis. Experts emphasize that health systems and emergency rooms are increasingly likely to screen for and address domestic violence as part of routine public health measures.

    This week also marks the opening days of ACA Marketplace open enrollment, with higher premiums expected because of the expiration of enhanced tax credits, according to coverage from the National Law Review. Stakeholders are watching how the continued government shutdown will further influence healthcare funding, policy, and access.

  • Critical Health Alert: Measles Outbreak, Pasta Recall, and SNAP Suspension Threaten Public Wellness Nationwide

    Critical Health Alert: Measles Outbreak, Pasta Recall, and SNAP Suspension Threaten Public Wellness Nationwide
    2025/11/01
    Listeners, today’s public health alerts in the United States are marked by a combination of infectious disease updates, food safety concerns, and urgent advisories linked to government program shutdowns affecting millions.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports a significant measles outbreak, with 30 new cases this past week and the nationwide total now at 1,648 across 41 states. Measles elimination status for the U.S. is at risk if outbreaks are not controlled by January 2026. Support for the life-saving measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine has dropped in the population, which increases the danger of ongoing transmission. The CDC and most experts urge listeners to ensure their children receive the complete two-dose MMR vaccination series for maximum lifetime protection against measles, as vaccination remains the most effective prevention. Respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19, influenza, and RSV remain at low national levels; however, RSV is notably higher among preschool-aged children. Wastewater surveillance indicates norovirus activity is high and trending upward nationwide.

    There is a national outbreak of listeria infections linked to prepared pasta meals—both frozen and ready-to-eat—according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. These contaminated pasta products were recalled and removed from shelves across the country, but the investigation and product recalls are still ongoing. Listeria infection can be severe and sometimes fatal among the elderly, pregnant women, newborns, and immunocompromised individuals. Listeners are advised to avoid all recalled pasta products, follow CDC and FDA updates online, and heat all ready-to-eat foods thoroughly to at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit, as this kills the bacteria.

    The nation also faces a looming public health crisis due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, which has caused the immediate suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for over 42 million people, according to NPR and Children’s League. Food banks are bracing for a surge in demand, warning that the loss of SNAP could rapidly lead to increased hunger and serious health consequences, especially for children, older adults, and low-income families. Women, Infants, and Children program funding and Head Start grants are also at risk, which could strip access to critical health and nutrition resources for vulnerable groups.

    Amid ongoing outbreaks and program disruptions, the Department of Health and Human Services remains committed to improving behavioral health nationwide, aiming to reduce acute mental health emergencies and overdoses by 10 percent this year. The agency continues Medicaid and CHIP healthcare coverage, with current child enrollment levels largely stable according to its annual performance plan.

    For now, federal health leaders recommend that all listeners stay current with routine and seasonal vaccinations, pay attention to food safety recalls, and reach out for community support if affected by the loss of nutrition program benefits. Those with symptoms of measles or listeria should seek medical evaluation immediately.
