Hopefully the feelpinions about MMR won't become policy but you never know right now. If it became a separate vaccine recommendation, vaccine supply would be a massive issue. Separate visits would lower coverage and delay protection. MMR is carefully timed. It would be a disaster for child health.

Ironically, am in Papua New Guinea doing a workshop on vaccine communication. This morsel provides a teachable moment on what misinformation/disinformation looks like.

Amazing moment at ACIP....the language of the votes was released so late that voting members of the committee say they're confused about what they're voting for/against.

Thinking about this more, adult vaccination wasn't recorded mandatorily until ~2020. AIR estimates beforehand unreliable and other estimates based on ad-hoc surveys of specific populations such as www1.health.gov.au/internet/mai... You could also try flu tracking.
