"We are aligning the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule with international consensus while strengthening transparency and informed consent,"
"This decision protects children, respects families, and rebuilds trust in public health."
"Robert Kennedy, with Trump's blessing, is leading the country down a tragic path where more children die from preventable diseases,"
"It's going to endanger the health of our children and of our communities,"
The CDC now recommends 11 vaccines for all children, with additional shots reserved for high-risk children. Parents are advised to consult physicians before inoculating children for six previously recommended diseases, including rotavirus, COVID-19, and influenza. Insurers will continue to cover all previously recommended vaccines. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. described the change as aligning the childhood schedule with international consensus and enhancing transparency and informed consent. The policy change followed a review demanded by President Trump and was announced without new data one month later. Medical experts and top health organization leaders condemn the change and warn of public health risks.
