概要

 Listeners, as of March 12, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports ongoing global polio activity, with circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 detected in multiple countries across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The CDC's Level 2 Travel Health Notice urges international travelers to ensure they're up to date on polio vaccines, recommending a single lifetime booster for adults who completed childhood series before heading to affected areas, according to the AABB regulatory update from March 11.

In transplant news, the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report details a fivefold rise in suspected donor-derived Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, or HHV-8, infections among solid organ transplant recipients from January 2021 to September 2025, with 46 deceased donors implicated and nearly half of recipients developing posttransplant infections. Clinicians are advised to stay vigilant for symptoms, especially with donor risk factors, as noted in the same AABB update.

Vaccine policy remains turbulent. The CDC and HHS have revised the childhood vaccine schedule, cutting recommendations from 17 to 11 core vaccines, reserving others like RSV, flu, hepatitis A and B for high-risk groups or shared clinical decision-making, mirroring Denmark's approach, per the Health Care in Motion update from CHLPI on March 11. ACIP altered hepatitis B guidance, now allowing delays beyond birth, potentially leading to thousands of preventable infections and deaths, critics like Senator Bill Cassidy warn. Over half of states are rejecting these federal changes, aligning with the American Academy of Pediatrics' fuller schedule instead.

The CDC's ACIP has paused plans to drop mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recommendations amid political concerns, with their next meeting on March 18-19 set to address COVID vaccine injuries and long COVID, as reported by Washington news on March 11. The American College of Physicians calls for evidence-based processes, urging postponement until transparency returns.

The FDA's vaccine advisers will soon recommend strains for fall 2026-2027 flu shots, amid a moderate season claiming at least 90 children's lives, with low vaccination rates among the deceased, according to CIDRAP.
