CDC panel votes to change guidance on MMRV vaccine for kids

The new guidance advises against administering this vaccine to children under four years old due to a slight risk of febrile seizures in that age group. This change is significant as it aims to enhance the safety of vaccinations for young children while still promoting overall immunization against preventable diseases.
