This episode discusses four MMWR reports. First, data show a third dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is safe for young children. Second, a new study finds continued disparities in mpox vaccination, especially among Black people and American Indian and Alaska Native people. Third, early diagnosis of caregivers and household contacts will help reduce the spread of mpox to children. Finally, global polio detection is improving, but gaps remain in rapidly detecting spread.
