The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced a major overhaul of the U.S. childhood immunization schedule, reducing the number of diseases covered by universally recommended vaccines for all children from 18 to 11.

Under President Trump’s bold leadership, the CDC is finally adopting common sense updates to America’s childhood immunization schedule – based solely on the Gold Standard of Science.

This historic action empowers parents and physicians to make the best individualized decisions to protect children while also restoring much-needed confidence in our public health system.

This change is effective immediately!
 
The revised schedule moves recommendations for several vaccines to a risk-based or shared clinical decision-making model between parents and doctors.
 
Key Changes to the Vaccine Schedule🔤

The updated guidelines shift away from a universal approach for some vaccines, narrowing recommendations for certain diseases to specific high-risk groups or requiring consultation with a healthcare provider. 

Vaccines Still Universally Recommended:

The schedule continues to recommend vaccines for all children against the following diseases: 

Diphtheria
Tetanus
& Acellular
Pertussis (whooping cough)
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
Pneumococcal conjugate
Polio
Measles, Mumps, & Rubella
Varicella (chickenpox)
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)  &
Varicella.

However, HHS will only
recommend a single dose of the HPV vaccine as opposed to two.

Vaccines Shifted to Risk-Based or Shared Decision-Making 
Recommendations for the following vaccines are no longer universal for all children and are now based on individual risk factors, underlying comorbidities, or exposure risks🔤
 
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Dengue
Meningococcal ACWY
Meningococcal B
Influenza (seasonal flu shot)
COVID-19
Rotavirus 

It’s an awesome start, let’s be grateful that they hear us!
