The United States has taken a historic step in childhood immunisation, removing four vaccines from the standard schedule and advancing a long-term goal championed by Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.
In a move that has sparked debate among parents, health experts, and policymakers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a revision of the national immunisation schedule for children. The new guidance reduces the total number of mandatory vaccines, a change Kennedy has long advocated as part of his efforts to streamline vaccination while ensuring safety.
