"In two days, this committee further undermined Americans’ confidence in life-saving vaccines and did so absent any new research or information necessitating their reexamination." PIDS has released the linked statement regarding the September ACIP meeting. pids.org/2025/09/19/p...

Minnesota has achieved so much in the last six years (Michigan, too). We need to keep this reminder of what's possible alive. Organizing is at the core of sustainable progress. We can remake America.

Dear parents/caretakers: If getting a #Flushot, or some other #immunization, pls never, ever put the decision to an eligible child all of a sudden-It all but GUARANTEES the outcome. If we must discuss it, that is fine. We can make time. Otherwise it amounts to a set up. Love, The Pediatricians

1/ On Thurs and Fri, ACIP—the external body that sets vaccine policy—will hold a special session. The MMRV vaccine will be discussed and we’re expecting a few falsehoods to start making the rounds about the vaccine and febrile seizures. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you should know👇

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

It was amazing to get to help bring this group of researchers and clinicians together. Other key points for me: Outcomes and continue to improve after 30 days. Don’t lose hope. Monitoring the impact of falling rates of vaccination on ANE will be critical.

@joshgondelman.bsky.social’s new special was marvelous. Heard it described as part stand-up set, part pep talk, which is spot on. “Cruffin hard, or hardly cruffin?” Love that phrase.
