Fifteen US States Sue Over Changes to Childhood Vaccine Recommendations

Fifteen US states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging its recent policy changes that scale back routine childhood vaccine recommendations. The new guidelines, announced under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., limit vaccines like influenza, rotavirus, and hepatitis to children at higher risk rather than universally. State officials argue this shift undermines scientific consensus and endangers public health, while health experts warn it could increase vulnerability to preventable diseases amid uneven healthcare access.
