The National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) is deeply concerned about recent federal changes to the U.S. childhood immunization schedule announced on Jan. 5, 2026. Reducing routine vaccine recommendations and shifting long-standing protections away from universal guidance risks creating confusion for clinicians and families — particularly in communities already facing disproportionate burdens of vaccine-preventable diseases.

NHMA reaffirms its commitment to evidence-based, transparent immunization policy guided by rigorous science and expert consensus — not by politics. We urge federal health agencies to work collaboratively with the medical and scientific community to protect the health of all children.

In December 2025, Families Fighting Flu and NHMA hosted a national virtual press conference to launch the Spanish-language version of "Kaden Blaze Fights Flu Bug," a comic book inspired by the real story of Kaden Stevenson, a Michigan boy who lost both legs due to complications from the flu.

The translation for the Spanish version, "Kaden Blaze Lucha Contra El Bicho De La Gripe," was made possible through a collaborative effort between the NHMA Communications Department and Families Fighting Flu.
