US EditionStates Sue Trump Administration over Changes to Childhood Vaccine Recommendations
A coalition of 15 states challenges CDC's rollback of seven key childhood vaccines, citing disregard for decades of scientific research and increased state healthcare costs, officials said.
- On Tuesday, more than a dozen states sued the Trump administration over its CDC vaccine rollback, and the CDC and HHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- Last month, the CDC changed its vaccine guidance, limiting protections to high-risk groups or 'shared decision-making,' after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ousted committee members last year.
- Warning of higher costs, state officials said, as governors of affected states argue the CDC's change ignores medical guidance and will increase outbreak prevention expenses.
- The lawsuit escalates a clash between states and Washington, citing agency layoffs, research funding cuts, and a governor alliance challenging CDC guidance, as the complaint alleges unlawful actions by Kennedy.
- With courts now involved, states retain authority over school vaccination rules, and `The health and safety of children across the country is not a political issue,` Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said.
