Happened last year, still spite over the COVID vaccine. As referenced in the article:

As such, Moderna and Merck call their mRNA cancer vaccine a type of "neoantigen therapy."

The term avoids both "mRNA" and "vaccine," which draw hostility from Trump's anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In addition to his concerted efforts to undermine lifesaving vaccines, Kennedy has canceled hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants for the development of mRNA vaccine technology.

Not sure if this keyword strategy is what saved the program or if this was one of the ones allowed despite the cuts due to so much taxpayer money already invested.

It was spring 2025 where the red state leaders were trying to ban mRNA vaccines, but that never went anywhere to my knowledge, hence the funding being cut to research instead.

Either that or the shot will cost $1 billion.

A lot of vaccines are combined. MMR and DTaP, for example, were probably two you got as a child.

At least for respiratory vaccines, nasal inhalation might be a future way of reducing pokes. I think I saw early research saying its more effective as its where the problem is, but that getting both might be better than one or the other still.

Many of the new mRNA vaccines, especially those against cancer, aren't usable that way anyways, e.g. from the article:

individually tailored to target a patient’s unique cancer mutations

So you get those, when you already have the disease, the reason it's called a vaccine is because it's making your immune system fight it instead of directly acting on the cause

HPV vaccines (stops cervical cancer) are a thing here for girls and they don't get them until they're 12. They just go around the schools. This seems like it could be done later too, maybe at the same time.

The vaccine schedule for kids is already pretty hefty. I can't remember how many times we had to get them to the doctor but it felt like a lot when you're already frazzled.
