For most of modern obstetric practice, the question "what does the CDC recommend?" and the question "what does ACOG recommend?" had the same answer. In 2026, they no longer do. In this episode, we walk through how the two most influential sources of maternal immunization guidance in the United States came apart, what each one now actually says, and — most importantly — what that means for the pregnant patient sitting in your office, or for the pregnant person reading conflicting headlines and trying to decide what to do. What we cover How we got here. The May 2025 announcement removing COVID-19 vaccination from federal recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women; the replacement of the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in June 2025; the shift to "shared" or "individual-based" clinical decision-making; and the January 2026 overhaul of the childhood schedule made without the standard ACIP process. ACOG's break from ACIP. In February 2026, ACOG withdrew as a liaison organization to ACIP, citing concerns that the committee's scientific integrity and evidence-based approach had been compromised. The first independent maternal schedule. On June 10, 2026, ACOG released its 2026 Maternal Immunization Schedule — the first time the College has issued a schedule that differs from federal recommendations. It is endorsed by 13 medical societies and health organizations. Where the two schedules actually diverge. ACOG places four vaccines in the "routinely recommended during pregnancy" category: influenza (inactivated or recombinant), COVID-19, Tdap, and RSV. Current federal guidance routinely recommends Tdap and RSV in pregnancy, and treats COVID-19 vaccination as an individual decision-making conversation rather than standard preventive care. The thimerosal question. Federal guidance advises thimerosal-free influenza products; ACOG's position is that thimerosal-containing vaccines are safe in pregnancy. What hasn't changed: the evidence. Pregnancy remains a recognized risk factor for severe COVID-19 illness, ICU admission, and mechanical ventilation. Millions of doses administered in pregnancy have not shown an increased risk of adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Maternal vaccination transfers antibodies transplacentally to infants under six months, who are too young to be vaccinated themselves. The counseling problem. As of February 2026, roughly 11% of pregnant women had received a COVID-19 vaccine this season — a substantial drop from the prior year. We talk candidly about what happens to uptake when guidance becomes contradictory, and how to have a productive conversation with a patient who has read three different things from three "official" sources. Practical guidance for clinicians. Documentation, timing windows, coadministration, and how to counsel without either dismissing a patient's hesitancy or overstating certainty. Key timing windows in ACOG's 2026 schedule Influenza — inactivated or recombinant product only, any trimester, ideally before the start of flu season. COVID-19 — any trimester, any available product, with emphasis on vaccination at the earliest opportunity. Tdap — every pregnancy regardless of prior Tdap history, preferably early in the 27–36 week window. RSV (Abrysvo) — a single dose between 32 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days; infant monoclonal antibody is an alternative, including in subsequent pregnancies after a prior Abrysvo dose. The takeaway Federal recommendations changed. The underlying science did not. Where guidance conflicts, the question for clinicians is not which agency has more authority but which recommendation is supported by the evidence — and how to communicate that clearly enough that patients can make an informed decision rather than a confused one.

Last month National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee, or NAWAC, member Sandra Faulkner confirmed that despite being elected as Vice President of the Federated Farmers she would continue her role on the committee. This has raised serious concerns of conflict of interest, NAWAC is meant to provide independent advice to the minister responsible for animal welfare while Federated Farmers is a lobby and advisory group which often pushes for policies which try impact the commercial use of animals. To discuss the decision to allow Faulkner to remain on the committee and what impacts the conflict of interest could have producer Thomas talked to SAFE Campaign Manager Emily Hall.

It's been almost 21-months since Hurricane Helene's impact was felt across Western North Carolina. While the region has largely recovered from some of the notable physical aspects of the story, the economic recovery will be going on for quite some time.Last week, Governor Stein's Advisory Committee for Western North Carolina recovery met in Boone, where the draft version of the region's Long-Term Economic Recovery plan was discussed. While the full version has not yet been released, valuable feedback came from this discussion that will inform the full report, set to be released later this fall.On this week's Mind Your Business, we visit with Sharon Decker, Governor Stein's Senior Advisor for WNCs Long-Term Recovery. She and the GROW NC team have been hard at work, collecting data and experiences from across the region, with the goal of leaving Western North Carolina in a stronger position than what existed pre-Helene. We'll discuss how this plan will be communicated and how existing assets can prepare the region for economic growth in popular sectors.To advance this work, it's been made abundantly clear from lawmakers at the State and Federal level that additional funding will be required. Earlier this week, Senator Ted Budd testified before US Senate colleagues, and we'll hear exactly what he shared as he works to keep the voice of Western North Carolina alive in Congress.Mind Your Business is written and produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.

The Author Events Series presents Barbara McQuade | The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government In Conversation with Zane Memeger In The Fix, McQuade draws on her decades of experience as a federal prosecutor to reveal how systems of organized crime and political opportunism exploit the levers of power-using corruption, cruelty, and chaos as tools to dominate institutions and eliminate accountability. With clarity, precision, and moral force, she exposes the tactics of today's far-right MAGA system: information warfare, aggressive retribution, conformism enforced by fear, and pervasive dismantling of legal checks and balances necessary to defend the public interest and uphold justice. Weaving together courtroom stories, real-time political analysis, and cautionary lessons from history and democratic backsliding abroad, McQuade makes the case that the threats we face are not future possibilities-they're already here. Yet The Fix is not just a warning; it is a call to action. In the book's final chapters, McQuade outlines common-sense reforms and strategies that can reclaim the rule of law and recenter democracy with the power of the people. Accessible, eye-opening, and grounded in constitutional faith, The Fix is essential reading for everyone concerned about the future of America-and ready to work together to take a stand for it. Barbara McQuade is a professor at the University of Michigan Law School, where she teaches criminal law and national security law. She is also a legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. From 2010 to 2017,  McQuade served as the U.S Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. She was appointed by President Barack Obama, and was the first woman to serve in her position. McQuade also served as vice chair of the Attorney General's Advisory Committee and co-chaired its Terrorism and National Security Subcommittee. She and her husband live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and have four children. Zane Memeger is the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Innocence Project; a non-profit organization focused on exonerating those convicted of crimes they did not commit and helping the wrongfully convicted transition to freedom.

It's been one year since the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in an unprecedented move, dismissed all the members of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), kicking off what would turn out to be a very concerning and busy year for infectious disease specialists.  We're going to recap this turbulent period – which includes a resurgence of measles, an unusually rough flu season, the emergence of a new COVID strain and outbreaks of hantavirus and Ebola – with Dr. William Schaffner, one of the country's most frequently quoted medical experts on infectious disease, vaccination, and public health. As a member of ACIP for decades, Dr. Schaffner brings unique insight into the dismantling of the committee and the distrust of vaccines that lies at the root of the changes. As he explains to Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, while many vaccine critics are beyond reach, there are those he describes as vaccine hesitant that may be persuadable if the right approach is taken. “Beyond providing facts, we have to listen to them and respond to their concerns and make them feel comfortable. Information is fundamental, but behavior change only comes with a change in attitude.” Tune in for a wealth of wisdom and context that includes observations on: What's complicating containment of the Ebola outbreak; Challenges in public health communication in the current social media environment; What grade health authorities should get on their response to the hantavirus outbreak.

Most farmers spend their time focused on production. Plant the crop, raise the yield, deliver it to the local elevator, and move on to the next task. But what happens after that may have just as much impact on profitability as anything done in the field.In this episode of the AgCulture Podcast, Paul sits down with Mike Steenhoek, Executive Director of the Soy Transportation Coalition, for a fascinating look at the transportation system that moves American agriculture. From trucks and railroads to barges, ports, and ocean vessels, Mike explains how commodities travel from rural America to customers around the world—and why transportation costs can have a direct impact on every farmer's bottom line.The conversation explores aging infrastructure, rural bridges, Mississippi River bottlenecks, rail transportation, global trade disruptions, and why events happening thousands of miles away can affect grain prices in your local community.If you've ever wondered how a soybean grown in Iowa ends up feeding livestock in China—or why transportation matters more than most farmers realize—this episode is for you.MEET THE GUESTMike Steenhoek serves as Executive Director of the Soy Transportation Coalition (STC), an organization established by the United Soybean Board, the American Soybean Association, and thirteen state soybean boards to promote a cost-effective, reliable, and competitive transportation system for agriculture.In his role, Mike works with farmers, industry leaders, transportation providers, and policymakers to improve the infrastructure that supports U.S. agriculture.

Each week, we will host a discussion with the authors of "Views and Reviews" and "Fertile Battle" articles published in a recent issue of Fertility & Sterility.  Today, we will be discussing the Fertile Battle episode from the April 2026 edition of Fertility and Sterility entitled "Is Concurrent Gestational Surrogacy an Ethical Practice?" Concurrent surrogacy involves two gestational carriers being engaged simultaneously—or whose pregnancies overlap—to allow a single intended parent or couple to have children born without the usual spacing between births  Dr. Michelle Bayefsky is a second year Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She has written a book and more than 30 peer-reviewed papers on issues related to reproductive ethics and fertility preservation. She is currently a member of the ASRM Ethics Committee.

At 84, Phyllis Mitzen is still reshaping how communities care for older adults — with curiosity, courage and a fierce commitment to action.Phyllis spent 24 years at CJE Senior Life (formerly Council on Jewish Elderly) and went on to consult with Health & Medicine Policy Research Group. She was proud to be awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from both Illinois and the National Association of Social Work. Phyllis serves on state and city Advisory Committees, and is currently active in the new Multi-Sector Plan on Aging, recognizing that without implementation its benefits will not be felt in Illinois. She reminds us that, equally important, the IL Dept on Aging, with 13 area agencies, depends on funding from the Older Americans Act. While it is reauthorized every 3 years, its funding is currently stalled with funding remaining at levels inadequate to meet growing needs. Phyllis' contribution to the Villages movement, specifically Skyline Village, has led to a consortium of 8 Villages in the Chicago Metro area. Many of these non-profit organizations have received Dementia Friendly designations, and are moving Chicago towards designation as a Dementia-Friendly city. These Dementia Friendly communities support, include, and empower people living with dementia, ensuring they can participate fully in social, cultural, and civic life. Why listen: Whether you work in aging services, advocate for policy change, or care for an aging loved one, Phyllis's practical wisdom, grassroots solutions, and insistence on turning plans into practice offer both inspiration and concrete next steps.“It's not the creation of the plan - it's the implementation that brings it alive.” - Phyllis MitzenCONNECT WITH PHYLLIS:Email: phyllis.mitzen@gmail.comAnd thank you to our sponsor, Women's Connection, a nonprofit women's group with chapters around the country.

What happens when you realize education has never really been designed for students? In this episode, Jeff Kubiak and Carla Cummins sit down with Dr. Kelly May-Vollmar, Superintendent of Desert Sands Unified School District in La Quinta, California. With 34 schools and 27,000 students, Dr. May-Vollmar has built a district culture rooted in student voice, community trust, and relentless accessibility. From volunteering as an art teacher in her daughter's first grade classroom to leading a $675 million bond measure, her journey reflects a simple but radical belief: students deserve a seat at the table. Takeaways: Student voice isn't optional—it's the foundation: From superintendent advisory panels to climate surveys with open-ended questions, Desert Sands builds systems that actively solicit and act on student input—because kids know what authentic work looks like and when adults aren't being transparent Trust is built through consistent presence: Attending every PTO and booster meeting, hosting "Coffee with Kelly" events, and sitting in staff lounges during lunch aren't PR tactics—they're how you understand what your community actually needs Eliminate barriers, not just friction: Borrowed from the Savannah Bananas' "fans first" philosophy, the district's "students first" framework has staff asking themselves in real time: "Are we creating a barrier? We can't do that." Alignment isn't top-down—it's everywhere: Board priorities (academic proficiency, future focus, warm and welcoming environments) cascade through every division, every professional development session, and get reported on quarterly with defined metrics About Dr. Kelly May-Vollmar: Kelly May-Vollmar, Ed.D. is the proud Superintendent for Desert Sands Unified School District (DSUSD), serving approximately 27,000 students. Throughout her over 20 years in education Dr. May-Vollmar has held many different roles and served in numerous capacities.  Dr. May-Vollmar has served on the CoSN Digital Equity Educator Advisory Panel and is the co-chair of the National Chief Technology Officer Council and the AASA/CoSN Empowered Superintendent's Advisory Committee.  She is currently a CoSN Board Member.  In 2026 Dr. May-Vollmar was named a Superintendent to Watch by the National School Public Relations Association and in 2025 she was named one of the top 100 Innovators in Education by District Administration.  In 2024 Dr. May-Vollmar was honored to receive the DALI Women of Distinction Award and the CalSPRA Superintendent to Watch award.  Kelly was also awarded the CA CITE Educational Leader of the Year award in 2019 and the Association of CA School Administrators State Technology Administrator of the year in 2019.  She is passionate about bridging the divide that often exists between curriculum and technology departments as well as bridging the digital divide for all students. To this end she is thrilled to have led her district to launch their own LTE Network to address the digital divide and to be awarded the CoSN Digital Equity Award in 2021.

On this week's Empowering Plans Podcast, Attorneys Jen McCormick and Nick Bonds talk through a federal district court case out of Massachusetts that has put a preliminary pause on vaccine recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) – and why the case has broader potential implications than it may initially appear. They break down what happened, why the court intervened, and what this means for self-funded health plans' obligations under the ACA's preventive care mandate.

After decades of saving lives, retired Air Force Colonel Dr. Kirk Milhoan was fired from his pediatric cardiology practice after being named chair of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

Day one of this week's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting revealed a stunning shift in the hepatitis B debate. For the first time, panel experts openly acknowledged they do not have the data to justify giving every newborn a hepatitis B shot on their first day of life.
