How flu, RSV, HPV and other vaccine recommendations changed

The Washington Postgeneral

Key Points:

  • The federal government has stopped broadly recommending several vaccines under the Trump administration and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s overhaul of childhood immunization guidelines.
  • The new guidance aims to align the U.S. with other countries that recommend fewer vaccines and encourages parents to make personalized vaccination decisions with their doctors.
  • Public health experts and medical associations have criticized the changes, warning they could lead to decreased protection for children against common infectious diseases.
