"Trump said “nothing bad can happen from what we’re doing” to revise the childhood vaccination schedule. But public health experts have warned of a return of vaccine-preventable diseases. This year, the United States has already recorded more measles cases than have been seen in decades." -Apoorva Mandavilli

It’s time to act.

We’ve learned that the State Department has decided to end the longstanding transfer of PEPFAR funding to CDC, a move that could significantly weaken America’s ability to detect and respond to disease outbreaks around the world.

Since the creation of PEPFAR 20 years ago under President George W. Bush, Congresses and Administrations of both parties have always recognized CDC’s preeminent global health capabilities and intended for State to transfer PEPFAR funds to CDC. This allowed the agency to maintain more than 60 country offices and help countries track and respond to deadly diseases like malaria, Ebola, measles, and influenza while strengthening America's health security. Congress can still act to protect these critical programs through the FY27 appropriations process. You have a role to play, but time is short.

Please take a few minutes to email your Members of Congress today using our easy petition with a simple message: Protect CDC’s global health programs and preserve the funding that makes them possible.

Thank you for taking action.

We have an urgent opportunity to ask our Senators to support continued funding for the CDC's life-saving global health programs, including PEPFAR.

The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) has published its own vaccine schedule to provide clear, evidence based guidance and counter rising vaccine misinformation. Endorsed by 13 medical and health organizations, it continues to recommend COVID 19 vaccination in any trimester of a pregnancy, in contrast to newer Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance that no longer routinely recommends it for all pregnant patients. Recent changes CDC COVID 19 vaccine guidance have led to confusion, driven in part by the transition from routine recommendations to a shared clinical decision making (SCDM) approach, even though vaccines recommended under this framework continue to qualify for coverage. At the end of May, America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) updated its statement affirming that member health plans will continue to cover all Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)–recommended vaccines without cost sharing through at least the end of 2027, including those recommended by the CDC under an SCDM framework.

The World Cup is expected to draw millions of people from as many as 200 countries, according to FIFA ticket request and sale statistics. Strong surveillance and preparedness systems must be in place, including public communication infrastructure. Misinformation is a constant threat; at a minimum there should be a unified risk communication center offering multilingual public health messaging, trusted public health spokespersons, and daily public health advisories during the tournament.

This is not a simulation.

This systematic review and meta-analysis screened more than 5,000 abstracts and evaluated more than 120 studies published between 2024-26. The newer data and updated findings were integrated with 153 studies from two comprehensive 2025 Cochrane reviews, limiting the Cochrane studies to those only related to vaccines approved in the U.S. The data reviewed - dating back more than 20 years - included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, ecological studies, case-control studies, and immunogenicity analyses. The findings, from the Vaccine Integrity Project, an initiative of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, reinforce decades of research demonstrating that HPV vaccination significantly reduces the risk of cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases.
