CDC Immunization Schedule Adopts Individual-Based Decision-Making for COVID-19 and Standalone Vaccination for Chickenpox in Toddlers ATLANTA—October 6, 2025— The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today updated its adult and child immunization schedules to apply individual-based decision-making to COVID-19 vaccination and recommend that toddlers receive protection from varicella (chickenpox) as a standalone immunization rather than in combination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination.The immunization schedules adopt recent recommendations by the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which were approved last week by Acting Director of the CDC and Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill. The schedules will be updated on CDC.gov by October 7, 2025.

The acting CDC director has finally signed off on the vaccine advisory panel's recommendations for the COVID vaccines.

While the CDC is trying to sell this as a win for antivaxxers, in reality this means that COVID vaccines will be more accessible than they have been in recent weeks.

I've made this observation a few times

The Case That Could Still Put Trump in Prison While Trump flexes federal muscle across the country, Georgia’s justice system and its citizens still have the power to hold him accountable for election interference.

I could write several blog entries about this, but I’ll just focus on one here: No, Dems aren’t putting anyone earning 4x the poverty level on Medicaid; the cutoff under the ACA is 138% FPL.

And if they were, that could actually cost less than the subsidies provided to enrollees earning 138-400%.

If you think you’re going to check Bernie Sanders’s skyline and find him talking about the invasion of Black and Brown communities over the last week you’re wrong.

Again…there’s a reason Black Folks reject him time and again. His pretending racism doesn’t exist helped get us to where we are today🤷🏾‍♀️
