  • US Vaccination Rates Drop as CDC Removes Universal Childhood Vaccine Recommendations Amid Legal Challenges

    US Vaccination Rates Drop as CDC Removes Universal Childhood Vaccine Recommendations Amid Legal Challenges
    2026/02/26
    The United States is facing significant public health challenges as federal vaccination policies undergo major changes. According to Politico, hepatitis B vaccination rates for newborns have dropped more than ten percent between 2023 and 2025, falling from 83.5 percent in February 2023 to 73.2 percent by August 2025. This decline occurred before the CDC officially removed its universal recommendation for the hepatitis B birth dose.

    Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fundamentally altered the nation's childhood immunization schedule. According to reporting from multiple sources, the CDC eliminated universal recommendations for seven vaccines including those protecting against rotavirus, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus. These vaccines are now recommended only for certain high-risk groups through a shared decision-making approach with doctors, a significant departure from decades of established policy.

    This policy shift has triggered legal action. According to Minnesota's Attorney General, fifteen states have filed a lawsuit challenging the vaccine schedule changes, arguing that they bypass federal law and ignore scientific evidence. The lawsuit notes that childhood vaccinations have prevented over 500 million illnesses and 1.1 million deaths in the last thirty years, generating 2.7 trillion dollars in societal savings.

    The United States is also nearing one thousand measles cases for the third time in eight years, with confirmed infections in at least twenty-six states, according to reporting from the Associated Press. This resurgence coincides with declining vaccination rates and the policy changes affecting routine immunizations.

    Medical organizations have mobilized in response. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, more than two hundred organizations have announced support for evidence-based childhood immunization schedules. The Academy previously filed its own lawsuit in July challenging the vaccine schedule overhaul.

    For travelers, the CDC continues to recommend consulting with travel vaccine providers before visiting destinations like Mexico's Cancun and Riviera Maya during spring break season. Key disease risks identified by the CDC include mosquito-borne illnesses such as chikungunya, dengue, and Zika.

    The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet on March 18 and 19 after February meetings were canceled. This committee was significantly restructured in June, with all seventeen voting members replaced by individuals with different perspectives on vaccine policy.

    These developments represent one of the most significant shifts in American vaccine policy in decades, with substantial implications for childhood disease prevention and public health outcomes nationwide.

  • Measles Cases Surge to 910 Across 24 States as CDC Leadership Faces Major Turnover and Vaccination Rates Decline

    Measles Cases Surge to 910 Across 24 States as CDC Leadership Faces Major Turnover and Vaccination Rates Decline
    2026/02/24
    Listeners, as of today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 910 confirmed measles cases across 24 states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, and others, with 177 new cases in the past week alone according to CDC data shared via iVaccinate.org and AOL reports. The U.S. has lost its measles elimination status amid these outbreaks, as noted by CIDRAP following criticism of recent CDC leadership.

    In related news, Ralph Abraham, MD, the principal deputy director at the CDC, resigned abruptly today after less than two months, leaving top vacancies at the agency, CIDRAP confirms. This follows acting director Jim O’Neil's departure last week, with NIH director Jay Bhattacharya now serving as interim CDC head, per Alston & Bird's Health Care Week in Review.

    Vaccinate Your Family's 2026 State of the ImmUnion warns of rising measles outbreaks and pediatric influenza deaths nationwide, urging stronger federal action on vaccine-preventable diseases. Health experts at Vax-Before-Travel predict a Lyme disease surge this spring in the U.S. and Europe due to upward trends, advising tick precautions in wooded areas.

    On newborn vaccinations, JAMA Network analysis shows declining hepatitis B vaccine rates from 2017 to 2025, following CDC's recent halt of universal birth dose recommendations. Congress reauthorized the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act through 2030 with $113.5 million, as reported by Health Affairs, bolstering efforts against preventable maternal deaths.

    No widespread active public health emergencies like national quarantines are declared, but stay vigilant: ensure vaccinations are up to date, especially measles and hepatitis B, practice tick bite prevention, and monitor flu symptoms in children. Consult your healthcare provider or CDC.gov for personalized advice.

  • Measles Surge Hits 982 Cases Across 26 States; CDC Urges MMR Vaccination Amid Flu and RSV Concerns

    Measles Surge Hits 982 Cases Across 26 States; CDC Urges MMR Vaccination Amid Flu and RSV Concerns
    2026/02/21
    Listeners, as of February 20, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 982 confirmed measles cases across 26 states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Contagion Live and ABC News note this surge includes 72 new cases last week, with 94 percent among unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown status, driven largely by a South Carolina outbreak now at 962 cases according to state health officials. The CDC recommends two doses of the MMR vaccine for 97 percent protection, as one dose offers 93 percent.

    Influenza remains a major concern, with the CDC's latest FluView update reporting five more pediatric deaths last week, totaling 71 child flu deaths this season. CIDRAP indicates high activity in 26 states, with test positivity at 19.8 percent, 14,940 hospitalizations, and estimates of 24 million illnesses nationwide. Influenza A dominates at 54.6 percent, but B is rising; 90 percent of deaths are among those not fully vaccinated. Respiratory illness visits are at 4.5 percent, above the epidemic threshold.

    RSV activity is moderate and growing in much of the country per CDC data, with highest emergency visits among infants and young children, followed by seniors. COVID-19 is declining, but vaccination rates lag: only 48 percent of children and adults got flu shots, 17.6 percent of adults the latest COVID vaccine.

    The CDC canceled its February Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting with no reschedule yet, as Reuters reports amid policy shifts under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including dropped recommendations for several childhood vaccines. Leadership changes continue, with NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya as acting CDC director.

    Stay vigilant, get vaccinated if eligible, and consult healthcare providers for symptoms. Thank you for tuning in, listeners—please subscribe for updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
