CDC Vaccine Recommendations Stall Amid Policy Upheaval

The FDA has approved mFlusiva, an mRNA flu vaccine that tested well in older adults, but the CDC has not issued guidance on its use, illustrating a broader breakdown in federal vaccine recommendations. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s overhaul of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which had guided CDC policy for decades, was challenged in court; a judge halted the replacement panel and suspended efforts to reduce recommended childhood vaccines, but the ruling did not restore the previous process. As a result, guidance on new vaccines has stalled and public forums for weighing vaccine policy questions have diminished. Medical groups welcomed the court ruling, while experts warned that the disruption and weakened trust in the administration’s vaccine recommendations could leave doctors and the public without a clear, evidence-based path for decisions.

Measles Surge Tests Elimination Status in 2026

Measles cases in 2026 have surged to 2,318 across about 44–45 jurisdictions, the highest annual total since 1991 and well above 2025, driven largely by numerous outbreaks including multi-state clusters and a large Utah–Arizona spillover. Health officials warn that declining kindergarten vaccination rates and gaps in immunization are fueling the spread, with ongoing debates over leadership and vaccine misinformation complicating efforts to curb the outbreak and restore elimination status.
