RFK Jr. is observing #WorldImmunizationWeek by undermining public health and letting our kids get sick. Disgraceful.
RFK Jr. eyes reversing CDC's COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for children. He has raised doubts about the need for kids to vet vaccinated against the disease.

NEW: A clinical trial led by Oxford researchers suggests that a single-dose rabies vaccine could provide safe, long-lasting protection in both adults and children.

Rabies kills an estimated 59,000 people each year, mainly in Africa and Asia, with children at greatest risk ⬇️ #WorldImmunizationWeek
A young child sits on an adult’s lap while a healthcare worker wearing gloves administers a vaccine injection into the child’s upper arm. The adult supports the child, who looks down at their arm. Text below reads: “New rabies vaccine offers protection for adults and children with a single dose - ox.ac.uk/news | University of Oxford.”

A satirical cartoon titled “The Cow-Pock – or – the Wonderful Effects of the New Inoculation” shows a chaotic scene of people being vaccinated by Edward Jenner, with exaggerated effects like cow heads sprouting from their bodies. A central seated woman receives an injection, while horrified onlookers display visible bovine features. The setting is cluttered, with a sign on a jar reading “Opening Mixture,” mocking early public fears of vaccination.

Behind every vaccine stands an entire system dedicated to making it possible, including the health workers who administer the shots, manage supply, support families & build trust.
