 Listeners, today’s public health landscape in the United States carries important updates and advisories from several official sources. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced new immunization guidelines that move away from universal COVID-19 booster recommendations. Instead, the CDC now urges listeners to consult with their healthcare provider to decide if a COVID-19 vaccine or booster is right for them, with consideration for individual health risks and personal circumstances. According to ABC News, informed consent is emphasized, and clinical decision-making should reflect patient-specific risk factors, including age, underlying health conditions, and potential vaccine benefits and side effects.

The most updated CDC guidance confirms that while primary COVID-19 vaccine series are widely available, ongoing boosters are no longer recommended for everyone. This change aligns with the FDA’s recent move to narrow its marketing authorization of updated COVID-19 vaccines to those aged 65 and older or younger people with health conditions that put them at higher risk for serious illness. Major insurers report continued coverage of COVID-19 vaccination through 2026 regardless of the CDC recommendations, so listeners concerned about cost can still access immunizations. It’s important to note that major medical groups still advise vaccination for children, pregnant women, and other high-risk groups, cautioning that the Trump administration’s change in guidance may overstate rare side effects but underplay the risks of COVID infection itself, as reported by AP News.

Emerging COVID variants, specifically XFB Stratus and NB.1.8.1 Nimbus, are leading to rising case counts in several states. Local health departments urge listeners to remain vigilant, monitor symptoms, and seek testing if exposed.

Additional vaccine changes are now officially reflected in the CDC schedule. For toddlers, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that the chickenpox (varicella) vaccine not be combined with the first dose of the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine. This recommendation follows evidence from the CDC Immunization Safety Office showing an elevated risk of febrile seizures in 12 to 23-month-old children who receive the combined MMRV shot. Parents should ensure their toddlers receive these vaccines as separate injections to maximize safety. The combination vaccine remains optional for the second dose typically given at ages four to six, according to STAT News.

Listeners should remain aware of ongoing outbreaks. The CDC reports that as of September 23, 2025, there have been 1,514 measles cases spanning 42 states and jurisdictions, with 92% of cases occurring among unvaccinated individuals and three confirmed deaths. Hospitalizations account for 12% of reported cases. States affected include Alabama, California, Florida, Texas, New York, Illinois, and many others, so listeners in these areas should review their vaccination status, especially during travel or public events.

Health authorities continue to urge Americans to maintain standard precautions for respiratory illnesses. This includes regular handwashing, staying home when sick, wearing a mask in crowded spaces if symptomatic, and ensuring immunizations are current for measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, and pertussis.
