US EditionMaryland Joins Other Democratic States Suing the CDC over Childhood Vaccine Schedule Changes
The lawsuit claims the revised vaccine schedule was made without proper scientific review and will increase state Medicaid costs and vaccine-preventable diseases, California AG Rob Bonta said.
- On Feb. 24, California joined a multistate lawsuit seeking to rescind the revised U.S. childhood immunization schedule in State of California Justice Departments v. Kennedy filed in San Francisco federal court, asking the court to declare the schedule `scientifically unsound` and unlawful.
- Following a January CDC update that reduced recommended childhood shots, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reshaped ACIP over the past year by appointing skeptics, plaintiffs say.
- Health officials note immunizations for hepatitis A and B, rotavirus, meningococcal disease, influenza, and COVID-19 moved to shared decision-making amid falling coverage and measles surge last year.
- The states asked a San Francisco federal judge to overrule HHS changes as the lawsuit, led by Bonta and Mayes, escalates a battle with the Trump administration over public health policy.
- HHS defended the revisions, and the West Coast Health Alliance urged aligning with the American Academy of Pediatrics ahead of the March 18 meeting.
