With #CDC still director-less, Sec. Kennedy has signed off on #ACIP recommendations to require all #flu vaccine for the US market to be #thimerosal free.
He did not, however, sign off on the ACIP recommendation that everyone get a flu shot. That recommendation is "under review." Ditto a recommendation for use of Merck's new monoclonal to protect babies from #RSV.

As of May 17, #Flu and #RSV season is officially over in #NYC, although it seems like a bad idea to rule out a summer outbreak.
#CovidIsNotOver but #COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths continue to drop, with no sign of a new #COVID19 wave!
I sang karaoke in person on Wednesday, but #CovidIsNotOver so I still WearAMask in crowded places like elevators, trains, planes and buses, and #MaskUp where there are vulnerable people, like doctors' offices, pharmacies, hospitals and supermarkets!
#COVID, #flu and #RSV cases, hospitalizations and deaths continue to decline in #NYC. Still 51 dead between April 6 and May 5.
The winter waves are almost over, and no sign of a late-spring or summer #COVID19 wave yet. I'm out of outbreak mode!
#CovidIsNotOver and as long as people are being hospitalized for it I'll continue to #WearAMask in crowded places like elevators, trains and buses, and #MaskUp where there are vulnerable people, like doctors' offices, pharmacies and supermarkets!

This past winter was a tough one for #RSV. Yet a new study reports fewer infants needed hospitalization for the infection than in seasons past, suggesting the new RSV tools — maternal vaccination & monoclonal antibodies for babies 8 months & younger — are working. https://www.statnews.com/2025/05/08/cdc-report-suggests-rsv-vaccine-abrysvvo-antibody-shot-beyfortus-reduced-infant-hospitalizations/
…As part of his #HHS role, Archer has in recent days posed questions to the #CDC about the advisory cmte recommendations, acc/to the documents & 2 sources.
One recommendation would expand eligibility for #RSV #vaccines made by Pfizer & GSK to #HighRisk adults aged 50-59 from a current threshold age of at least 60 yrs.
In response, Archer asked for more justification of the expansion given what he described as a “possible decline in efficacy with a second dose.”…
The advisory panel to the #CDC had made recommendations regarding the use of separate shots approved to help protect against #RSV, #meningitis & #chikungunya. The CDC is not required to adopt their recommendations, but when it does, they become guidelines for #medical practitioners to follow.
