概要

 Listeners, as of today, the California Department of Public Health endorses the 2026 American Academy of Pediatrics Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, highlighting its science-based approach to protecting against 18 diseases amid recent CDC changes. This schedule, similar to prior years, emphasizes vaccines' safety and benefits, with CDPH Director Dr. Erica Pan warning of rising measles cases—the highest in over 30 years—risking the U.S. elimination status achieved in 2000 due to low vaccination rates. The California Medical Association and West Coast Health Alliance also back this AAP guidance for families and providers.

Meanwhile, ProMED reports ongoing measles outbreaks in U.S. states including Arizona, Utah, Washington, Florida, and South Carolina, with cases soaring and marking the highest numbers in decades. A recent autochthonous chikungunya case appeared in Florida, and a botulism case was confirmed in Montana. Legionellosis struck an Illinois developmental center.

The European Society of Cardiology notes wildfire smoke exposure linked to 17,000 strokes across the U.S., urging caution for those in affected areas.

Weather-related alerts include delayed openings: Worcester County Health Department in Maryland at 10 a.m., Northwest Georgia Health District offices until 10 a.m. (Walker County at 11 a.m.), and Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center closed except for emergency and inpatient services.

For polio and MMR vaccines, CDC's advisory chair Dr. Kirk Milhoan questions broad recommendations given improved sanitation, but experts like Dr. Paul Offit counter that sanitation actually heightened polio risks historically, with last year's 2,255 measles cases and first deaths in over a decade underscoring vaccination needs.

Stay vaccinated, monitor local weather impacts on health services, and protect against respiratory risks from smoke. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
