I did not expect health insurance companies to be the good guys ever, but today they are. AHIP has announced that insurance companies will cover all vaccines recommended by ACIP through 2027. Because a judge stayed RFK Jr’s Temu ACIP, this means they will use recommendations by actual experts.

👉 New #influenza subclade K viruses are prolonging #flu seasons in the Southern Hemisphere. Just off the press @eurosurveillance.org @ecdc.europa.eu www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2...
eurosurveillance.org
Extended influenza seasons in Australia and New Zealand in 2025 due to the emergence of influenza A(H3N2) subclade K viruses
In Australia and New Zealand, late outbreaks of an A(H3N2) variant virus termed subclade K extended the 2025 influenza season. Subclade K viruses were genetically and antigenically distinct from the 2025 vaccine A(H3N2) strain A/Croatia/10136RV/2023 (H3N2)-like virus and previously circulating subclade J viruses. Subclade K viruses have since been detected in over 34 countries and appear to have spread globally, except in South America. It is thus likely that they will further expand during the northern hemisphere winter 2025/26 season.

„Neue STIKO-Empfehlung zur Meningokokken-Impfung. Epidemiologisches Bulletin. Robert Koch-Institut.“ Beschreibung: Vier Kinder circa 12 Jahre stehen lächelnd nebeneinander und schauen in die Kamera. Im oberen Bereich steht der Titel der Grafik auf blauem Hintergrund.„Die neue Standardimpfempfehlung im Überblick.
Die STIKO empfiehlt jetzt die Impfung mit einem quadrivalenten Konjugatimpfstoff gegen Meningokokken der Serogruppen A, C, W und Y (MenACWY) für alle Kinder und Jugendlichen im Alter von 12 bis 14 Jahren.
Zur Impfung wird eine Impfstoffdosis benötigt.
Nachholimpfungen sollen bis zum 25. Geburtstag erfolgen.

Die Jugendgesundheitsuntersuchung (J1) im Alter von 12 bis 14 Jahren ist eine gute Gelegenheit, die Impfung durchzuführen.
Die Impfung kann zeitgleich mit anderen von der STIKO empfohlenen Impfungen für diese Altersgruppe erfolgen – insbesondere der Tdap-IPV-Auffrischimpfung und der HPV-Impfung."

Beschreibung: Texttafel mit blauer Schrift auf hellblauem Hintergrund, ergänzt durch Pfeil- und Glühbirnensymbole.„Anpassung der Impfempfehlung gegen Meningokokken C für Kleinkinder.
Die bisherige Standardimpfempfehlung gegen Meningokokken C für Kleinkinder im zweiten Lebensjahr wird nicht mehr empfohlen.
Auch die Nachholimpfungen bis 18 Jahre entfallen."
