このコンテンツについて
The CDC’s most recent figures show that flu vaccine uptake last season hovered at just under 50 percent for both adults and children. Health officials stress that improving that number is vital, not only for personal protection but also to keep workplaces and schools running smoothly—rising flu cases drive higher absenteeism, strain caregiving, and disrupt business. Telehealth resources are being promoted as a way to make access to care easier this season.
On Covid-19, public health guidance is coming under debate. STAT News highlights ongoing controversy among infectious disease experts about who should receive the updated Covid vaccine. Currently, the revised guidelines do not authorize Covid vaccinations for the general population under age 65 unless at high risk, and access varies by state. Experts warn this policy could hinder the protection of health care workers, patients, and vulnerable populations, especially if another surge occurs. The data shows that from October 2024 through early September 2025, between 13 and 19 million Americans were infected with Covid, leading to up to 520,000 hospitalizations and as many as 60,000 deaths.
There is a particular concern about long Covid, which can develop in 10 to 25 percent of cases and severely affect daily functioning and work. Health care systems and experts urge eligible groups, especially people with compromised immune systems and health care workers, to consult clinicians about Covid vaccine access as state policies remain in flux. The evidence is clear that vaccination helps reduce the risk of severe illness and long Covid.
There are also ongoing measles outbreaks in the United States. The Kaiser Family Foundation and ProMED report that as of this month, the U.S. has identified more than 40 measles outbreaks in 2025, a disease once considered eliminated domestically. These outbreaks are linked to drops in vaccination rates and highlight the importance of keeping up to date with all childhood and adult immunizations.
Listeners should also be aware of seasonal hazards. Foodborne illness risks remain persistent, and proper food handling and handwashing remain key safety steps. For those traveling internationally or living in communities with recent arrivals, health officials in several states advise checking if additional vaccines—like MMR for measles or Hepatitis A—may be warranted. The Pennsylvania State House recently advanced legislation requiring insurers to cover all recommended vaccines, underscoring the critical role of vaccination for community protection.
Lastly, as misinformation about vaccines and public health increases, legal and public health experts from associations like the New York State Bar Association recommend sourcing health information only from trusted, evidence-based organizations. This helps listeners make decisions that protect themselves, their families, and communities.
