This is the People’s CDC bi-weekly update for January 15, 2026! This Brief Weather Report from the People’s CDC sheds light on the ongoing COVID pandemic and other public health crises in the United States.
Header: “The Weather Report 1/18/26." A map of the United States color-coded in shades of blue and teal displaying SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Viral Activity levels from CDC Data last updated on Jan 8, 2026 with title, “21 States Reporting “Very High” or “High.” Deeper tones correlate to higher viral activity. Gray indicates “No Data,” and stripes indicate “limited coverage,” which is based on less than 5% of the population and may not be accurate. Much of the map, including many states in the Northeast, Midwest, have darker shades of color indicating higher concentrations while Western states and coastal Southern states appear in light green, indicating “Low” or “Very Low” concentrations. There is no data for North Dakota, Oregon, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, and limited coverage for Arkansas, New York, Mississippi, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Guam. Text at the bottom: “People’s CDC. Source: CDC.” Header: "Vaccination Updates". Along with the “People’s CDC” logo. Body text: "On Monday, January 5, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced unprecedented changes to the childhood vaccination schedule. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) decreased the number of diseases for which they recommend routine vaccination. Previously, the CDC recommended vaccines to protect against 17 diseases and now they recommend vaccines against only 11 diseases." Footer: "The Weather Report 1/18/26, peoplescdc.org" Header: "Vaccination Updates". Along with the “People’s CDC” logo. Body text: "Although Hepatitis A and B, RSV, rotavirus, HPV, and meningococcal disease are no longer federally recommended for all children, many state and local public health departments continue to routinely recommend them for all children. The CDC’s update also rescinded the recommendation that everyone over 6 months receive flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, amidst one of the worst flu seasons in years." Footer: "The Weather Report 1/18/26, peoplescdc.org" Header: "The Weather" Along with the “People’s CDC” logo. Body text: "Wastewater levels for COVID have reached “high” for parts of the US. The CDC-based wastewater map was updated on January 8, and it shows “very high” levels in 9 states, “high” levels in 12 states, “moderate” levels in 10 states, “low” levels in 6 states, and “very low” levels in 13 states and territories. Seven states report limited coverage: only some of the state’s wastewater centers are reporting, so the data are based on less than 5% of the population, and they may not be accurate for the entire state."

On this year’s National Day of Mourning, we encourage our readers to uplift the messages of indigenous peoples in the United States, in Gaza and globally and to stand in solidarity against weapons of colonization such as military power, immigration, and the unchecked spread of mass illness."

Blue background image with white text. Subheader reads "peoplescdc.org" Header reads "FIGHT FACISM" Text reads "At People's CDC, we have watched in dismay as governments and corporations slash funding for programs that keep people housed, fed, and vaccinated; cut programs that track and control the spread of diseases; dismantle life saving research. They claim, 'There's not enough money for that,' yet they find billions for war, policing, and projects that make themselves and their friends richer. "This didn't start with MAGA, btw.) We're taught success comes through individualism. But when we share the same planet, the same air, the same future, we must reject the lie that we success or fail alone. We have to create systems within our communities, while building different forms of governance that prioritize everybody's wellbeing. That means collectively enacting basic public health measures to stop deadly, disabling diseases like COVID-19 and measles: Wear high-quality masks, especially in crowded spaces. Stay home when sick if you can. Open windows. Use air purifiers to clean indoor air. Build support networks-check indoor air. Build support networks-check on sick neighbors, show up for all children, for disables and elders community members. And we must organize! Unionize. Demand paid sick leave in our contracts. Win universal healthcare. You are all too precious, the world's riches too vast, and the future too open to leave anyone behind. So rest, dream, adapt, stay in the fight. Join us in building a new future - a new public health - together." Centered between the text is an image of masked woman holding a stop sign that reads "Stop Fascism"
