"Our successes in vaccine technology stand as a testament to human ingenuity and collaboration. From eradicating diseases to tackling global pandemics, vaccines remind us of what we can achieve when science, innovation, and compassion come together."
– Sia Anagnostou, Why We Vaccinate, Chairwoman
We live in an exciting time of tremendous innovation in vaccine design and delivery, and new vaccines are rapidly becoming available at a very fast pace. As a pediatrician I am particularly thrilled by the prospects of conferring a lifetime of benefit for babies through novel approaches to both pregnant patients and their newborn infants against serious infections!

CDC releases 2025 immunization schedules
“Both immunization schedules … are designed to be a guide for health care providers to ensure individuals get all the vaccines they need when they need them,” Sybil Cineas, M.D., FACP, FAAP, chair of CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) immunization schedule work group, said during a recent ACIP meeting.
"Vaccines are among the most powerful inventions in history, making once-feared diseases preventable. Thanks to vaccines, smallpox has been eradicated, polio is on the brink, and with the more recent development of vaccines against diseases like malaria and cervical cancer, we are pushing back the frontiers of disease. With continued research, investment and collaboration, we can save millions more lives today and in the next 50 years.”
