Federal Judge Blocks Kennedys Vaccine Policy Changes: A Win for Science and Public Health
A federal judge in Boston halted major parts of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Juniors proposed vaccine policy changes, siding with groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics. The ruling blocked plans to reduce routine childhood shots and overhaul the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The judge removed thirteen of Kennedys appointees and invalidated earlier votes that downgraded shots for diseases like hepatitis B and COVID-19. Medical experts and vaccine supporters hailed the decision as a big win for science and public health, fearing the changes could drop vaccination rates and cause outbreaks. Kennedys team plans to appeal, while anti-vaccine groups tied to his Make America Healthy Again movement criticized the decision. The ruling spotlighted issues with the committees makeup and left Kennedys order against COVID-19 shots for healthy children and pregnant women in place for now.
