Several vaccines that are currently “routinely” recommended on CDC’s vaccine schedules do not stop transmission of the target pathogens. ICAN’s legal team sent a letter to CDC, urging it to correct this error and move these vaccines to the “shared clinical decision-making” category.
According to CDC criteria, vaccines that are “unlikely to have population-level impacts” should only be recommended based on shared clinical decision-making. Vaccines that do not stop transmission of the target pathogen fall squarely into this category. The diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and meningococcal vaccines are “unlikely to have population-level impacts” as they do not stop transmission—yet they are not in the shared-decision category.
Just see the letter we sent to CDC with the proof regarding transmission for each of these vaccines!
So why does CDC routinely recommend that every child in America receive these vaccines? You can probably guess the real reason. In any event, ICAN will keep you updated on CDC’s response to this request.
