Trump and Kennedy Push New Vaccine Policy Options in HHS Request
The White House and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have filed a request for public comment on possible changes to U.S. childhood vaccine guidelines.
President Donald Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. submitted a formal request to the Department of Health and Human Services seeking feedback on a range of vaccine policy ideas. The filing, posted on Friday, opens a 30-day comment period for the public. Among the topics is whether to add new categories to the existing framework, which currently includes universal, risk-based, and shared-decision recommendations. No immediate policy shift is announced; the move signals a continued focus on reforming how children receive vaccinations.
Why it matters
The request could lead to major changes in how vaccines are recommended for U.S. children.
