You can’t import another country’s vaccine policy without first importing their actual healthcare system.
Our vaccine recommendations fill structural gaps in our healthcare system, which is widely regarded as fragmented, inaccessible to many, and riven with inequalities.

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

1. 2025 was a huge year for #measles in a number of developed countries, including the US, which may lose its measles-elimination status in the next couple of months. As of 12/30, #CDC was informed of 2,065 confirmed cases in 44 jurisdictions. The last time there were that many cases was 1992.

RFK Jr. is expected to announce in the new year that American children should be immunized according to the schedule followed by Denmark — which is much smaller, mostly homogenous and has universal health care.

Excellent public health messaging from New York City!!
Be the happy peace sign waving emoji instead of the sick and sniffling emoji.
How can you do that?
Wear a mask! Ideally a respirator like an N95.
It’ll help keep you and your community safe.

We can now prevent 70-85% of severe RSV disease.
This is transformative medicine happening NOW.
Yet 97% of RSV deaths occur where these tools aren't available. We've solved the science. Now we must solve access.
