The AMA released a statement today following the appointments of eight new members to the USPSTF, a federal task force whose decisions affect healthcare access for most Americans. spr.ly/63320BGVe6k
Quote from Dr. Willie Underwood, AMA President: "The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) plays an important role in helping physicians and patients make evidence-based decisions about preventive care. The composition of this new slate represents a significant departure from the Task Force’s traditional membership. We believe maintaining a strong primary care voice must remain central to its work."

Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied,effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases ... Altering a proven vaccination schedule without credible evidence risks weakening public confidence & putting kid’s health at risk. spr.ly/63320B1KUUq
Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases. Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by rigorous scientific evidence, patient safety, and independent medical and public health expertise. Altering a proven vaccination schedule without credible evidence risks weakening public confidence and putting children’s health at risk.

If you have questions about vaccines, talk to your child’s physician. Putting our children’s health at risk is not an option

The CDC reports 2,318 confirmed measles cases in the U.S. this year - the highest annual total since measles was eliminated in 2000. Vaccination remains our strongest defense against this highly contagious, preventable disease. Read our full statement: spr.ly/63325BEsFAW
As measles cases continue to surge across the U.S., now is the time to make sure you and your family are protected. Getting vaccinated remains our strongest defense against this disease that is both highly contagious and entirely preventable.
 
When vaccination rates fall, the consequences are felt far beyond case counts - patients face preventable illness, families and communities are put at risk, and diseases like measles return and spread.

Choosing to vaccinate protects not only you, but helps protect your entire community.
