  • US Health Alerts 2025: Influenza H3N2, Measles Outbreak, Mpox Case, and New Vaccine Recommendations Spark Nationwide Concern

    US Health Alerts 2025: Influenza H3N2, Measles Outbreak, Mpox Case, and New Vaccine Recommendations Spark Nationwide Concern
    2025/12/23
    Several significant health alerts are affecting the United States as we approach the end of 2025. According to ProMED, a global health surveillance network, influenza activity remains a major concern nationwide, with H3N2 subclade K identified as the prevalent strain circulating across the country. The CDC has already reported pediatric deaths from influenza this season, with confirmed fatalities in Colorado and North Carolina.

    Measles continues to pose a serious threat, with ProMED reporting 148 confirmed cases in South Carolina alone, along with additional cases documented in South Dakota and North Carolina. Listeners should be aware that measles exposure has occurred at multiple airports and on flights, suggesting potential for continued spread in transportation hubs.

    Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, remains active in Tennessee and Texas according to health surveillance data. ProMED also confirms that Hansen's disease has been identified in Florida, marking an important development for a condition that requires specific clinical attention and contact investigation.

    A critical development involves mpox, with ProMED documenting the first confirmed 2025 case in El Paso, Texas. This represents an important epidemiological marker as the nation continues monitoring mpox transmission patterns.

    Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, continues circulating domestically, though international cases have shown serious complications including respiratory distress syndrome.

    Additionally, the CDC Advisory Council on Immunization Practices recently voted to eliminate long-standing recommendations for hepatitis B vaccines for newborns, according to reporting from NOTUS and Undark. This represents a significant shift in pediatric immunization guidance that parents and healthcare providers should be aware of as they make vaccination decisions for infants.

  • US Flu Surge Hits 17 Jurisdictions with Rising Hospitalizations and Pediatric Deaths Amid Respiratory Virus Challenges

    US Flu Surge Hits 17 Jurisdictions with Rising Hospitalizations and Pediatric Deaths Amid Respiratory Virus Challenges
    2025/12/20
    Listeners, as of today, influenza activity across the United States has spiked dramatically, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting high or very high influenza-like illness in 17 jurisdictions, including 14 states, Puerto Rico, Washington DC, and New York City. The CDC's latest FluView update shows the percentage of respiratory viruses testing positive for flu jumping from 8.1% to 14.8%, outpatient visits for respiratory illness rising to 4.1% above the national baseline, and nearly 10,000 flu hospitalizations last week, with two new pediatric deaths confirmed from H3N2 strains, bringing the season total to three. CDC estimates 4.6 million flu illnesses, 49,000 hospitalizations, and 1,900 deaths so far this season, dominated by influenza A H3N2 subclade K at 89.8% of characterized viruses, which is raising concerns about vaccine match. The CDC urges everyone 6 months and older to get vaccinated if not already, and to seek antivirals early, especially high-risk groups.

    Respiratory syncytial virus activity is low nationally but increasing in the Southeastern, Southern, and Mid-Atlantic regions, with more emergency visits and hospitalizations among children under 5. COVID-19 remains low but is rising, with very high wastewater levels in Indiana and high in Connecticut, Nebraska, and Vermont per CDC data. Pertussis cases are elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels, though below November peaks, and remain highly contagious.

    Measles cases have surged to 1,912 confirmed through early December, the highest in 25 years according to Johns Hopkins experts, driven by outbreaks like 129 cases in South Carolina with three deaths, 92% in unvaccinated or unknown status individuals. ProMED reports recent exposures at airports in South Dakota and North Carolina flights.

    On vaccines, the CDC on December 16 reversed its universal hepatitis B birth dose recommendation for infants of negative-testing mothers, adopting individual decision-making per Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices guidance, while maintaining it for positive or unknown status mothers; this aligns with APIC input but has sparked uproar over dropping a policy that cut child infections by 99%, amid broader schedule reviews.

    In Southern California, the South Coast Air Quality Management District extended a mandatory No-Burn alert through December 20 at 11:59 PM in the South Coast Air Basin to protect public health from poor air quality.

    ProMED notes additional US alerts like infant botulism in Tennessee and first pediatric flu deaths in Colorado and North Carolina this season.

    Stay vigilant, get vaccinated, practice hand hygiene, and consult providers for symptoms. Listeners, thank you for tuning in and please subscribe for more updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

  • CDC Reverses Hepatitis B Vaccine Policy for Newborns Sparking Controversy and Debate Among Medical Professionals

    CDC Reverses Hepatitis B Vaccine Policy for Newborns Sparking Controversy and Debate Among Medical Professionals
    2025/12/18
    Listeners, the biggest public health update today centers on a major shift from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, which has adopted new recommendations from its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, known as ACIP, ending the universal hepatitis B vaccine for all newborns. According to the CDC press release, this change, formalized yesterday, applies to babies born to mothers who test negative for hepatitis B, moving to individual-based decision-making where parents consult healthcare providers to decide on vaccination timing. The CDC still mandates the vaccine within 12 hours of birth if the mother has hepatitis B or her status is unknown, and for other low-risk infants, the first dose should wait until no earlier than two months of age. This reverses a 34-year policy started in 1991 that aimed to protect against a virus causing liver failure, cirrhosis, and cancer.

    The decision has sparked controversy. Acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill stated in the press release that it restores informed consent for parents since newborns from negative-testing mothers face little immediate risk. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly criticized it, with President Susan J. Kressly calling it irresponsible and warning it could lead to more infections in kids, as universal shots since 1991 cut child and teen cases by 99 percent per physician Omer Awan in Scripps News. The AAP and other groups like the American College of Physicians continue recommending the birth dose for all newborns, emphasizing decades of evidence on its safety and benefits outweighing rare side effects like brief pain or fever.

    Hospitals now face key choices, as noted by Healthbeat, with many not yet detailing if they'll stick to universal dosing despite the CDC shift; some anecdotally plan to continue. Parents are urged to discuss with pediatricians, especially since ACIP also suggests possible serology testing later to check immunity needs.

    Beyond this, ProMED reports no major U.S.-specific outbreaks today, but recent alerts include ongoing measles concerns with accelerating cases in South Carolina and persistent risks noted in U.S. updates, plus highly pathogenic avian influenza in Wisconsin dairy cattle. CDC stacks highlight weekly notifiable disease data up to early December, with flu surveillance active but no urgent national alerts flagged in the first Public Health Alerts summary.

    Stay vigilant, listeners—wash hands, get recommended vaccines after consulting providers, and monitor local health department updates for flu or other seasonal threats.
