Oct. 6 (UPI) -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Monday that it updated its adult and child immunization schedules to apply individual-based decision-making to COVID-19 vaccination. The CDC also changed its recommendation for toddlers to get protection from chickenpox as a stand-alone immunization rather than in combination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination. The varicella vaccine protects against the varicella-zoster virus that causes chickenpox and shingles. "
