ACIP committee experts voted to modify the vaccination recommendations against measles, generating controversy among specialists.

The ACIP advisory committee has decided to no longer recommend vaccination of children under four years old with the MMR vaccine, replacing it with two separate injections, citing minimal risks of side effects. This measure has sparked criticism from specialists who warn that it will create confusion and doubts among parents, in the context of declining vaccination rates in the US. Recent changes have been influenced by a tense political climate, and the American Academy of Pediatrics has decided to publish its own recommendations, considering that those of the committee are no longer trustworthy.
