CDC vaccine panel restricts access to MMRV shot by some low-income children

CDC vaccine panel restricts access to MMRV shot by some low-income children

The federal advisory panel responsible for recommending vaccines for the public made a significant decision on Friday regarding access to the combined measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella shot for low-income children under the age of 4. This group of children will now be restricted from receiving the combined shot but will still have the option to receive separate MMR and varicella shots. This decision aligns with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s preference for separate shots due to a slightly higher seizure risk associated with the combined first dose.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which made the decision during a recent meeting, debated whether the combined shot should be covered by the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. The VFC program aims to provide low-cost or free vaccines to uninsured or Medicaid-enrolled children, making it a crucial resource for many families across the country.

Interestingly, the committee had initially declined to restrict access to the MMRV vaccine in the VFC program due to some confusion among members about the specifics of the vote. However, they did recommend that children receive the MMR and varicella vaccine in separate shots, with a majority vote of 8-3 and one member abstaining. The committee later revisited the decision and successfully passed the restriction on the combined shot with nine votes in favor and three abstentions.

Committee chair Martin Kulldorff acknowledged the need for a re-vote, citing technical issues that may have affected the initial decision-making process. This move underscores the committee’s commitment to ensuring the safety and efficacy of vaccines for all children, especially those from low-income families who rely on programs like VFC for essential healthcare services.
