No one knows what that means. Seems like the committee would benefit from a vaccine expert or two and someone who can run a meeting

Nice to know we can keep the separate vaccines but thanks to this joke of ACIP for causing our 12 month old may have to get a 2nd jab 😑 Glad I got my toddler her MMRV booster earlier this year!
About the combined MMR and varicella vaccine (MMRV), ACIP has just voted to *not* recommend MMRV before the age of 4 years.
This will not change access to MMR and varicella separately.

President Donald Trump and HHH Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have repeatedly raised the idea that autism could be linked to vaccines.

This is an excellent response. The federal government can not restrict what individual faculty or University programs teach. That is our right to free speech and academic freedom. All Universities should respond similarly to these threats.

Being a patient can be so frustrating. Saw a specialist and they want me to follow up in 4-6 weeks. Great, I have PTO in exactly 4 weeks and plenty of flexibility! Dr has literally not a single available appt in HIS recommended f/u time frame. Just waiting on a cancellation I guess 🤷🏻♀️ #MedSky
