flag The CDC has updated its vaccine guidelines, shifting to individualized decisions for COVID-19 vaccination instead of universal annual recommendations, and now advises separate MMR and chickenpox vaccines for children around 12 months old, replacing the combined MMRV shot due to a higher risk of febrile seizures. flag The changes, approved by the CDC’s advisory panel and Acting Director Jim O'Neill, reflect evolving data on safety and effectiveness, aiming to improve informed consent and vaccine adherence. flag The updates apply to routine immunization schedules and maintain insurance coverage for vaccines.
