Babies face more immune challenges at birth than from vaccines. Vaccine ingredients are tiny, less than natural exposure, and don’t accumulate harmfully. Vaccines are well-studied, safe, and vital for protecting kids’ health and futures.

It's HPV Awareness Day — The HPV vaccine, one of the biggest cancer-prevention successes ever! Data shows huge results: Nearly 90% fewer cervical cancer cases in people vaccinated as teens. And it prevents oral, anal, penile, vaginal, and vulvar cancers too. HPV VACCINATION IS CANCER PREVENTION.

Everyone that ever lived used mRNA. Your body knows how to handle it.

Everyone that ever lived used mRNA. Your body knows how to handle it.

You are an expert in handling mRNA.

Yes, even when it comes from a vaccine.

The wellness industry is bigger than the pharma industry. But unlike pharma, it isn’t required to prove safety or effectiveness. Lots of big claims out there… not always backed by science. vaccinateyourfamily.org/questions-ab...

“There is no cure for measles, which is why prevention is so critical. The MMR vaccine remains the most reliable and effective way to prevent it. Two doses are 97% effective at providing lifelong protection against measles and its complications."

Amid the turmoil, Sam Beyda, a 24-year-old who has never previously worked in public health, has assumed a prominent role at the agency, according to current and former officials.
While at the CDC, O'Neill was often absent, those officials said, and he deputized Beyda to run much of the agency's day-to-day operations for him, people familiar with the matter said. Beyda, a 2023 graduate of Columbia University, is based in Washington, D.C., but frequently travels to the CDC's Atlanta headquarters.
An internal document in November listed Beyda as leading five of 16 new strategic initiatives, including updating the CDC's agencywide response to outbreaks and crises, downsizing animal research and enhancing surveillance of novel pathogens.
Some longtime CDC staffers have credited Beyda with being a quick study and making an effort to ask questions and learn on the

But others say Beyda isn't qualified for a senior role that is often filled by someone
with a master's in public health or years of experience in the federal government.
Beyda executed January's widespread grant cuts to state and local health departments that the CDC then quickly rescinded, people familiar with the matter said. The administration moved forward about two weeks later with roughly $600 million in grant cuts to four states led by Democrats, a move now held up in court. Beyda was also deeply involved in a chaotic wave of firings at the CDC during the October government shutdown, according to people familiar with the matter, which saw more than a thousand employees laid off only for hundreds to later be reinstated.
Beyda is one of at least a dozen political appointees at the agency, representing a larger number than in previous administrations, according to two current employees. The new political appointees wield significant power over the CDC's

Measles outbreaks are costing the U.S. millions of dollars. The true losses can't be counted. As vaccination rates decline, the economic consequences will increase, research suggests.

For every 1,000 children who get measles, one or two will die. Children under five and adults over 20 are at higher risk for measles complications, including pneumonia, hospitalization, and death. If you have questions about the MMR vaccine, speak to your healthcare provider.

mRNA vaccines are safe, and they work. They don’t change DNA—just teach your immune system to fight. Side effects are usually mild; serious ones are rare. Millions protected, countless lives saved. #VaccinateIndiana

More than 135 million doses of HPV vaccines have been given, and thanks to vaccination, infections with HPV types that cause most HPV cancers and genital warts have dropped 88% among teen girls and 81% among young adult women in the US. The vaccines are well-studied, safe, and they work 💪🏽

Ashley was a college freshman when she fell ill with flu-like symptoms. Sadly, what she thought was a mild flu was far more serious, Ashley caught Meningitis. Read how the disease changed her life, and about what you can do to protect your children: hoosiersvaccinate.org/ashleys-surv...
