Medical Groups Challenge Kennedy Vaccine Schedule in Court
TL;DR Summary
Six leading medical groups plan to sue to overturn the Kennedy-era reduction of the routine childhood vaccine schedule from 17 to 11 vaccines and to block a February vaccine-advisory meeting, arguing the changes lack scientific basis and threaten public health; the lawsuits echo ongoing disputes over vaccine policy and Covid vaccine access, while the removed vaccines remain available with provider approval and states enforce immunization requirements.
