Should children under 4 still get the MMRV vaccine? The American Academy of Pediatrics says yes

from Medical News Podcast · host PeerDirect Publishing

The CDC’s advisory panel voted to recommend separate MMR and varicella shots for children under four, citing a slight seizure risk with the combined MMRV vaccine, a move strongly opposed by the American Academy of Pediatrics as misleading and confusing. In obesity care, a phase 3 trial showed oral semaglutide 25 mg led to an average 13.6% weight loss in adults without diabetes, reinforcing GLP-1 pills as an effective option. Meanwhile, a large study linked pediatric CT scan radiation to increased blood cancer risk, urging dose minimization and safer alternatives.
