'The MMRV vaccine helps protect children against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox (varicella). Children are offered 2 doses when they are 12 and 18 months old as part of the schedule.' 💪 @ukhsa.bsky.social

🚫 Disinformation is loud, so here’s a fact:
From 1 Jan 2026, the MMRV vaccine will be added to the UK’s routine childhood immunisation schedule.
👶Eligibility depends on each child’s birth date.

Tell the CDC: Childhood Vaccinations and the Hepatitis B Birth Dose Save Lives
Comments due 11/24 for CDC ACIP’s December meeting; Antivaxxers must not be allowed to jeopardize child and adolescent vaccine access

CDC ACIP expert advisors must support widespread and unhindered access all vaccines currently on the child and adolescent vaccine schedules. -

“The combined vaccine is more convenient for patients, and this convenience actually saves lives. Fewer injections translate as fewer missed doses, and therefore more protection in a shorter time. The MMR vaccine has saved millions of lives worldwide.”
…but sure, let’s go with what Dr. Trump feels 🍟

Die US-Impfkommission #ACIP empfiehlt Erwachsenen künftig keine generelle #COVID19-Impfung mehr – auch nicht für Risikogruppen über 65.
Stattdessen soll die Entscheidung individuell nach ärztlicher Beratung erfolgen. Die Entscheidung folgt personellen Umbrüchen: Gesundheitsminister Robert F Kennedy Jr entließ im Juni alle 17 Mitglieder des Gremiums.
Auch Empfehlungen zu #MMRV und #HepatitisB wurden überarbeitet oder verschoben.

…one group would bear the brunt of the changes more than others: children on #VFC. Some parents opt for the convenience of a single shot, & those who are covered by private #insurance may still be able to get it. Although private insurers will no longer be required to cover the joint #MMRV #vaccine free of charge, they are already pledging to continue with business as usual….

Thursday, #ACIP voted to remove the joint #MMRV #vaccine from the childhood-immunization schedule for #children under 4, & instead recommended that kids get 2 separate shots: one for measles, mumps, & rubella, & another for varicella. Friday, the panel also voted to remove the combination shot from the #VFC program. Both votes were motivated by a concern about the *safety* of the vaccine…

The outcome of that re-do was to change the insurance coverage of the #MMRV #vaccine for #LowIncome #children. On Thursday, the panel ended with a split vote: MMRV shots were not recommended, but they would be paid for by the government. Friday's re-do vote made it all align — not recommended, not allowed to be paid for.

#ACIP, had spent much of Thursday debating the rationale for giving newborns the #hepatitisB #vaccine at birth — but then the committee pushed off the vote until Friday. Instead, it proceeded with a separate vote that removed the #MMRV shot for #children under age 4 from the vaccine schedule.
"We are rookies," chair Martin Kulldorff said in opening the second day of the meeting. "With one exception, this was either our first ACIP meeting or our second."

It also reversed a vote it took yesterday on coverage for a shot known as the #MMRV — measles, mumps, rubella & chickenpox (or varicella). Yesterday, the panel said the #Vaccines for #Children program could cover the combined shot if parents want it — Friday they voted that it shouldn't. The MMRV shot is no longer recommended to be given, & it will not be paid for by government #insurance.

The panel was asked to consider whether the combined #vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella & varicella should not be recommended for #children younger than four. The panel voted 8-3 to approve the change, w/ 1 member abstaining.
This vote means children who receive their #vaccinations through the #Vaccines For Children #federal program will not be able to receive the #MMRV shot until they’re 4 yrs old. Children can normally get the MMRV vaccine beginning at 12 months. -
🤬
The vaccine advisory panel chosen by #RFKJr for the #CDC on Thursday voted in favor of delaying the administration of the #vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella & chicken pox, commonly called the #MMRV.
The CDC’s Advisory Cmte on #Immunization Practices (#ACIP) was scheduled to vote on three questions during Thursday’s meeting. 5 of the members were appointed to the committee just this week.

#RFKJr’s newly formed #CDC #vaccine advisory committee will meet today to review #immunizations for #Covid, #hepatitisB & #MMRV. #RFKJr recently replaced all of its members with known vaccine “skeptics”.
#BillCassidy, a #Republican doctor who leads the #Senate #health cmte, said Americans should NOT have confidence in the cmte’s decisions if it changes the childhood vaccine schedule.
