Officials Urge Vaccination, Hygiene Ahead of School Year

News summary

As the new school year begins, U.S. health officials urge parents to update children's vaccinations, noting low immunization rates in some states like Colorado that threaten community protection against diseases such as measles, mumps, and polio. Pediatricians are concerned about potential future access issues to certain vaccines due to changing federal policies, leading some families to seek early immunizations. In Norway, a new vaccine distribution system aims to improve efficiency and reduce waste observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Globally, experts stress the importance of accelerating vaccine development for both emerging and persistent diseases, with a focus on making production more sustainable and responsive. Hygiene remains important, as summer increases infection risks from environmental sources and high-touch public surfaces like hotel remote controls and airport security trays. Public health campaigns continue to promote accessible immunization clinics and general preventive measures to protect children and communities.
