Medical Groups Sue Over Kennedy's New Vax Recs

Groups ask court to restore CDC's recommendation to vaccinate kids, pregnant people against COVID. 

Medical and public health organizations sued the Department of Health and Human Services and its secretary over changes to U.S. vaccine policy.

The groups focused on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s directive to end the CDC's recommendation to vaccinate healthy kids and pregnant people against COVID-19, but listed numerous actions that serve to undermine U.S. vaccine policy. That included removing all 17 of the CDC's top vaccine advisors and cancelling or postponing vaccine advisory meetings.

In their complaint, the groups asked the federal court to restore the CDC recommendations for vaccinating healthy kids and pregnant women.

Plaintiffs included the American Public Health Association, the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM), the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the American College of Physicians, and the Massachusetts Public Health Alliance.
