According to a new report from the CDC, outpatient visits for “flu-like” illness are at their highest in nearly 30 years, and nine children have died of flu this season. In addition, a recently reported pediatric death from last year brings the 2024-’25 season total to 289, which is higher than any season since the CDC started tracking in 2004.

The surge in flu-like illness comes just as the CDC announced an overhaul to the childhood vaccine schedule that includes removing universal recommendations for numerous vaccines including flu.

The measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico has resulted in multiple hospitalizations and one confirmed death - and continues to spread. The outbreak reminds us that measles is very contagious but can be prevented by timely vaccination. Make sure your kids ages 12 through 15 months of age get their first dose of MMR and children 4 through 6 years of age with their second dose.

Infants 6 through 11 months of age who are traveling internationally or going to outbreak areas should receive an early, extra dose of MMR vaccine.
