US EditionBack-to-school shots: Pediatrician answers health care questions as federal guidance shifts
Pediatricians emphasize the safety of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine amid parental confusion caused by federal health leadership changes, with school vaccine requirements unchanged.
- As the new school year approaches, pediatricians address ongoing measles spread and concerns about vaccine schedules in the U.S.
- Federal guidance around vaccines has caused confusion amid unsupported claims by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who dismissed advisory panels.
- The measles vaccine first became available in 1963, and since 1971, the combined MMR vaccine has been widely used and thoroughly evaluated for safety and effectiveness.
- The speaker, a parent of three vaccinated children, affirms the vaccine schedule remains safe and effective and endorses MMR vaccination based on rigorous evidence.
- Vaccines continue to safeguard children even when certain illnesses are less apparent, and maintaining vaccination requirements is essential to keep schools safe during outbreaks of highly contagious conditions such as hand, foot, and mouth illness.
