The CDC has announced a significant reduction in the childhood vaccine schedule, now recommending vaccines for only 11 diseases instead of 18, aligning more closely with Denmark's approach. Health experts express concern that this change may undermine public trust and lead to lower vaccination rates, especially amid ongoing debates about vaccine safety and efficacy.

A recent study published in Nature reveals that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, such as those from Pfizer and Moderna, can enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer, particularly in patients undergoing immunotherapy for late-stage melanoma and lung cancer. Patients who received the vaccines alongside immunotherapy demonstrated significantly improved survival rates, suggesting a potential dual benefit of these vaccines beyond their original purpose.
