Vaccines Input Sought After Trump's Decree
The department is asking whether vaccine guidance should use age limits, qualifications and shared decision-making as it reviews 11 childhood immunizations.
- On Aug 21, the Department of Health and Human Services opened public feedback on federal vaccine recommendations, following President Donald Trump's executive order to reduce the childhood inoculation schedule.
- Trump signed an executive order earlier this month directing officials to review vaccine timing and sequencing, aiming to limit the schedule to 11 immunizations to provide what he calls 'gold-standard' protection.
- Currently, vaccines are categorized as routine, risk-based, or shared decision-making. The Department is seeking input on potential risks of shared decision-making, including confusion for clinicians and patients, and whether to implement age windows for vaccines.
- Public trust in federal health authorities fell during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency stated. This review advances the goals of Health Secretary Robert Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist.
- Members of the public, including parents, doctors, and health officials, have until Sep 20 to submit comments. Feedback will help the Department determine if the framework supports scientific rigor and informed choice.
