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

UNITED STATES, JUN 26 – Kennedy dissolved CDC vaccine advisory panel, citing 97% conflict of interest claims, and ended federal funding for global vaccine alliance Gavi, reshaping U.S. vaccine policy since February 2025.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became U.S. Health Secretary on February 13, 2025, and since then has changed vaccine policy and evaluations at HHS.
  • His appointment followed Senate hearings where he pledged to rely on evidence-based science and maintain CDC vaccine schedules without imposing his judgment.
  • Since taking office, Kennedy ousted all 17 members of the CDC vaccine advisory panel on June 9, replacing them with advisers including critics of pandemic policies.
  • He also canceled $766 million in HHS awards to Moderna on May 28 for pandemic flu vaccines and announced ending U.S. support for the Gavi vaccine alliance on June 25.
  • These actions represent unprecedented shifts in vaccine policy and evaluation processes under Kennedy's leadership at HHS.
