Every patient deserves to be heard. Every potential vaccine injury deserves serious scientific investigation.
Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SecKennedy, HHS is taking new action to strengthen vaccine safety monitoring, improve adverse-event reporting, and expand patient care.
From opening a new @NIH clinic to modernizing federal reporting systems, HHS is working to ensure patients are heard, potential injuries are investigated, and science guides the way forward.

More than 1 in 3 women and more than 1 in 6 men experience sexual or physical violence by an intimate partner during their lifetimes. This is why, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, HHS is working across teams to invest in proven resources to prevent domestic violence and strengthen families.
@ACFHHS has issued a call for new domestic violence prevention services and is awarding $237 million to local organizations that help prevent family violence, domestic violence, dating violence, and provide critical services to communities across the country.
Meanwhile, the @CDCgov is working to implement these evidence-based violence prevention strategies at both the state and local levels through their Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) program.

This week, I joined @NIHDirector_Jay, @DrOzCMS, and @DrSchwartzCDC at NIH to open a historic clinic dedicated to studying and caring for patients experiencing health problems following vaccination.
We must listen to patients and families who report vaccine injuries—not dismiss or gaslight them. President Trump and I are building a health system that takes them seriously, follows the evidence, and uses what we learn to make vaccines safer.
This is how we earn back trust in our public health institutions.

HHS is targeting Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and other tickborne illnesses. @CDCgov and @NIH awarded nearly $3 million to test new approaches that target ticks where they feed and reproduce.
The goal: fewer ticks, fewer bites and fewer tickborne diseases.

CDC has not received through its normal channels the formal Epi-Aid request described by Reuters.
CDC will not submit to political blackmail that conditions critical public health assistance. The people of Pennsylvania should never be used as leverage in a political dispute over how deaths are classified.
Federal outbreak assistance and national mortality reporting are separate processes.
Pennsylvania may classify deaths as “measles-associated” under its state surveillance definition, but CDC is working with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists to establish a standardized definition for measles deaths to ensure consistent reporting across jurisdictions. In the interim, CDC will apply the same national standard to every state and report any measles-caused deaths when the National Center for Health Statistics identifies measles as the underlying cause based on death record information submitted by the states.
CDC will not allow Governor Shapiro to politicize this process. We owe the American people accurate, consistent, and transparent public health information.
The Pennsylvania health department said it was requesting emergency support from the US CDC as it grapples with one of the country's largest and most deadly measles outbreaks, according to a document reviewed by Reuters on Thursday. reuters.com/world/pennsylvan…

Governor Shapiro has chosen to politicize this outbreak instead of implementing a unified public health response. He continues to point the finger at me and the federal government and to malign the Amish while refusing the federal assistance that might help end the outbreak.
I have offered the Governor CDC Epi-Aid, which would put CDC epidemiologists on the ground to help the state respond. Texas, South Carolina, Virginia, Kansas, New Mexico, and Wisconsin requested Epi-Aids and worked alongside CDC teams to help bring their outbreaks rapidly and successfully under control.
Governor Shapiro’s claim that I directed CDC to suppress Pennsylvania deaths is false. CDC is applying a consistent national standard rather than allowing politicians to decide which deaths appear in federal mortality statistics. CDC will report measles-caused deaths when the National Center for Health Statistics reports measles as the underlying cause based on death record information submitted by the states.
CDC’s MMR recommendation remains unchanged. I have repeatedly stated that MMR vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles infection.
Pennsylvanians deserve accurate, evidence-based public health information—not political grandstanding.
Today, the Pennsylvania Department of Health confirmed two more measles-associated deaths after local coroners reported these individuals died from complications associated with measles. That's four total measles-associated deaths in our Commonwealth and the first Pennsylvania has seen in 35 years. These are tragedies, and four families are grieving.
Pennsylvania is experiencing the worst measles outbreak in the country. To date, we have 693 recorded cases of measles in 38 of our 67 counties. This disease was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000 — yet decades later, we are seeing it surge due to lower vaccination rates.
This serious situation continues to be made worse by RFK Jr. playing games with public health and safety. It's long past time for @SecKennedy to stop stoking vaccine skepticism and misinformation and compromising the serious mission of the nation’s public health agencies. It is also deeply concerning to learn that the Secretary personally intervened in an otherwise administrative process to direct the CDC to not report these Pennsylvania deaths, presumably because it doesn’t fit his phony narrative.
Measles is preventable. I continue to urge all Pennsylvanians to speak with your trusted health care provider and get the best possible information to protect yourself and your family against this deadly disease.

Twenty-five years ago, our nation was forever changed.
Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives taken on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders who ran toward danger to save others.
In the days and weeks that followed, HHS joined the response, including the @usphscc and personnel from the National Disaster Medical System and the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile, which would later become important parts of @ASPRgov.
We honor all who served, all who sacrificed, and all who still carry the wounds of that day.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

This headline and story are false and misleading. The decision regarding the Pennsylvania deaths in CDC’s national measles reporting was made by CDC.
CDC has a responsibility to ensure its reporting accurately distinguishes between what is known and what remains unconfirmed.
The information currently posted reflects the best available information and our commitment to transparency and telling the American people the truth—a foundational principle of the Trump Administration.

When these young people decided to detransition, our healthcare system abandoned them.
The Trump Administration will never abandon them.
I joined CMS Administrator @DrOz to discuss new CDC medical codes recognizing detransition in a patient’s medical history, effective October 1.
The questions these detransitioners are asking are not political questions. They are medical questions.
Doctors should want the answers. Parents deserve the answers. And our young people deserve adults who will protect them.

Today, FDA and @CDCgov are providing an update on the multi-state Cyclospora outbreak linked to recalled iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico. fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodb…
Important things to know:
➡️ Cyclosporiasis can be a serious illness. We encourage anyone who suspects they have symptoms of cyclosporiasis to consult their medical care provider.
➡️Due to additional interview data, CDC’s confirmed cases were expanded to include illnesses in people who reported exposure to Taco Bell OR Taylor Farms de Mexico iceberg lettuce.
➡️As a result, additional cases and states are being added to the outbreak. Many of these illnesses began before the Taylor Farms de Mexico iceberg lettuce recall on July 17, 2026.
➡️We expect to continue to see the number of confirmed cases rise, despite the recall, due to the fact that it can take as long as six weeks from the date of consumption for CDC and state officials to determine if a sick person is part of this outbreak.
➡️FDA remains confident that all iceberg lettuce related to this specific Cyclospora outbreak is off the market.
