 Listeners, public health alerts in the United States today focus on important updates affecting vaccine policies, infectious diseases, and crisis response. According to the latest ProMED reports, there are currently active outbreaks and public health surveillance for several infectious diseases. Notable alerts include ongoing cases of vesicular stomatitis in horses in Arizona, salmonellosis of the Enteritidis serotype, and legionellosis likely linked to healthcare settings in Cincinnati, Ohio. Measles cases were recently reported in South Carolina and Idaho, alongside a continued presence of hand, foot and mouth disease in Virginia, New Mexico, and Michigan. On animal health and its intersection with human safety, tularemia cases have been detected in Colorado, and alpha-gal syndrome—a tick-borne allergy—continues to rise nationwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee is making key changes to national vaccine recommendations. As shared by KFF Health News, the committee is considering no longer recommending the combined MMRV vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox, as a single shot for young children. Instead, parents may need to get separate doses for these diseases, which could result in more doctor visits and a risk of lower vaccine compliance. CDC advisers are also looking at restricting the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, weighing individual clinical decision-making for vaccination rather than blanket recommendations. These changes are generating controversy, with public health experts warning that inconsistent guidance could lead to confusion, lower immunization rates, and potentially outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Coverage for the COVID-19 vaccine remains in place for all non-grandfathered health plans, as outlined in the vaccine schedule adopted by the CDC director on October 6, 2025, but the FDA’s official recommendation now directs updated COVID-19 shots toward people over 65 or those 6 months to 65 years old who have underlying conditions, which is broadly defined. The ACIP’s new vaccine recommendations stress shared decision-making, encouraging individuals to discuss with clinicians which vaccines make sense for them. The rising complexity of vaccine policy comes against a backdrop of political changes at the CDC and federal health agencies, including restructuring of vaccine advisory bodies and changes to child vaccine schedules, as detailed by Segal Consulting and KFF Health News. Experts caution that parents should stay in close communication with pediatricians to track updated requirements, particularly for measles and chickenpox immunizations, since changes in the schedule could affect participation in the widely used Vaccines for Children program. Separately, mental health crisis response protocols continue to be updated at the local government level, as seen in Montgomery County, Maryland, where officials are reviewing emergency call policies for 911 and mental health crisis lines to ensure the system is responsive during times of peak need. Listeners are encouraged to maintain vigilance regarding food safety as sporadic reports of listeriosis linked to ready-to-eat meals and salmonella outbreaks associated with specific foods continue to surface. Infectious disease and vaccine updates remain fast-moving, so listeners are strongly advised to consult with healthcare providers regarding any questions on vaccination requirements, eligibility, or public health alerts.
