A statement from AAP President Dr. Andrew Racine on today’s executive order on U.S. childhood vaccines:

"As measles cases reach a 35-year high in the U.S. and with cold and flu season quickly approaching, today's executive order on vaccines is not only disheartening but dangerous. Instead of ensuring every family can access life-saving vaccines for measles, influenza, RSV and more, federal leaders are once again spreading misleading claims.

Today's executive order is not based on ‘gold-standard science.’ There is no new evidence to justify significant changes to childhood immunization guidance. Dozens of studies involving millions of people show there is no link between vaccines and autism, and yet federal leaders continue to promote this outdated, disproven idea to scare families. Today's executive order will do nothing to support families of children with autism or advance understanding of the condition. The only purpose of this announcement is to sow confusion so that more people doubt the importance of vaccines. Delaying or skipping shots is risky, especially as measles continues to spread and children go back to school.

Vaccine recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics are tailored to the health of children living in the United States and are based on decades of research and systematic tracking of real-world experiences. Pediatricians recommend children receive certain vaccines at specific ages based on when children's immune systems will respond best and when they are most vulnerable to certain diseases. Sometimes this means children will receive a single shot that protects against multiple diseases, or they may receive multiple vaccines at one visit.

On-time immunization keeps our kids and our communities healthy and thriving. If parents have questions about vaccines, I encourage them to talk with their child's pediatrician or clinician.”

Yesterday, President Trump signed an executive order calling for changes to the childhood vaccine recommendations, among them separating the measles, mumps, and rubella, or MMR, vaccine into individual shots.

These changes go against decades of evidence and science and could lead to a reduction in vaccination rates that would put children at risk. ACOG President Camille A. Clare, MD, MPH, CPE, FACOG, outlines these concerns in her response to the executive order.

The current vaccine schedule provides critical guidance to physicians working to protect children from serious illness and disease. It’s based on decades of scientific evidence. We urge the administration to rescind this executive order and ensure that childhood vaccine recommendations remain grounded in scientific evidence and clinical expertise.

Getting a cholesterol screening is a lot less complicated than memorizing all of Scorpion’s finishers. Just call your doctor and ask for a simple blood test.

Acceso a Salud en Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Otro profesional de la salud que pierde la isla…

Yesenia Malave Vazquez, MSN, APRN,
FNP-BC, CUNP

Soy una apasionada de la enfermería de práctica avanzada, cuya trayectoria está marcada por el compromiso con la excelencia y el crecimiento constante. Tras graduarme del prestigioso Recinto
Universitario de Mayagüez de la Universidad de Puerto Rico (RUM), emigré a Florida en busca de mejores oportunidades para mi familia. Luego de certificarme a través del NCLEX, comencé mi carrera en unidades médico-quirúrgicas, evolucionando
rápidamente hacia los cuidados críticos (ICU).

Durante los años de la pandemia, mientras trabajaba en la primera línea de defensa, asumí el reto de continuar mi formación superior, obteniendo mi
Maestría en Ciencias de Enfermería (MSN) como Family Nurse Practitioner en South University.

Actualmente, poseo mi licencia autónoma de APRN en Florida y ejerzo como Nurse Practitioner certificada en Urología (CUNP), a la vez que curso mi Doctorado en Práctica de Enfermería (DNP) en la Universidad de Florida (UF).

Como profesional que se formó en la isla y se especializó en el exterior, soy una firme defensora del Proyecto de la Cámara 757. Anhelo que esta propuesta se convierta en ley para tener la oportunidad de licenciarme y recetar en mi tierra, Puerto Rico, y así aportar mi experiencia para abrir un mayor acceso a servicios de salud de calidad. Mi meta es que los conocimientos adquiridos en estos
más de 9 años de práctica sirvan para fortalecer el cuidado de salud del país que me vio crecer.
