RFK Jr. Made Promises About Vaccines. Here’s What He’s Done as Health Secretary

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became Health Secretary on February 13, 2025, and has since changed vaccine policies and advisory panels.
  • His actions follow Senate confirmation hearings in which he pledged to support the CDC schedule and rely on evidence-based science.
  • Kennedy ousted all 17 members of the CDC vaccine advisory panel on June 9 and appointed new advisers, some linked to vaccine misinformation.
  • His department canceled $766 million in Moderna awards on May 28, limited COVID-19 vaccine approvals to high-risk groups, and stopped supporting the vaccine alliance Gavi on June 25.
  • These moves reflect unprecedented shifts in vaccine evaluation and recommendation that have drawn expert criticism and raised concerns about scientific consensus.
