🧬 What Everyone Needs to Know About the Latest CDC Vaccine Updates
In June 2025, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) met to review new vaccine guidance. This was the first meeting since the committee was restructured, and it delivered several significant updates.
Whether you're managing a corporate team or overseeing a college campus, these changes may affect how you prepare for fall health services and travel protocols.
Here’s what matters most, in plain language:
✅ 1. Flu Vaccines Still Strongly Recommended
ACIP reaffirmed that everyone age 6 months and older should receive a seasonal flu shot.
🔹 What’s new?
The committee also voted to recommend only preservative-free, single-dose formulations for flu shots — particularly for children, pregnant individuals, and adults. Most U.S. flu vaccines already meet this standard, but this move reinforces the shift.
🔹 What it means for you:
At VaxPro, we exclusively use single-dose, preservative-free flu vaccines — so you're already ahead.
For campuses, this guidance supports hosting student clinics that are clean, compliant, and easy to promote.
🍼 2. RSV Protection Approved for Infants
ACIP approved a new monoclonal antibody, clesrovimab, to protect infants from RSV.
🔹 Who it's for:
Infants under 8 months whose mothers did not receive an RSV vaccine during pregnancy
It’s also been added to the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, increasing access for eligible families.
🔹 Why it matters:
For employers: staff with newborns may ask questions about RSV protection.
For college and university clinics: student-parents may benefit from referrals or pediatric outreach.
✈️ 3. Measles (MMR) Vaccine Now Recommended for All Travelers
CDC now recommends the MMR vaccine for all international travelers:
2 doses for anyone age 1+
An early dose for infants 6–11 months who are traveling
🔹 Why it matters:
For corporate travel teams and study abroad programs, this is a crucial update.
Whether you’re sending employees overseas or supporting students studying abroad, MMR screening and immunization should now be part of pre-travel planning.
VaxPro can assist with on-site MMR clinics or documentation requirements before departure.
🧪 4. What Didn’t Change — But Might Soon
While many recommendations remained steady, the new panel hinted at possible future changes, including:
A new COVID-19 vaccine formulation expected for fall 2025
A potential review of routine childhood vaccine schedules
We’re monitoring these developments closely — so you don’t have to.
