CDC panel backs routine HPV vaccination

Article Abstract:

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that preteen girls aged 11 to 12 years be routinely vaccinated against the human papilloma virus (HPV), which can cause cervical cancer, precancerous genital lesions, and genital warts. This happens to be a cancer prevention vaccine and also prevents one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD).

New policy puts some newborns at risk: Medical groups denounce Medicaid changes

Article Abstract:

Various changes in Medicaid that toughen documentation requirements from parents of infants born in the US might result in medical care being delayed or denied to the newborns of immigrant parents. Critics of these changes believe that the infants who are US citizens by birth should not be harmed in the process of enforcement of US immigration policy on their parents.
