US District Judge Brian Murphy blocks HHS changes to childhood vaccine schedule
→Immunization program managers must maintain current childhood vaccine schedules
Change
US District Judge Brian Murphy has enjoined the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from implementing Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s proposed reduction to the routine childhood vaccination schedule.
Why it matters
Federal public-health agencies are prohibited from adopting any revision that lowers the number of routinely recommended pediatric vaccine doses. Providers and state immunization programs must adhere to the existing CDC recommendations as the operative standard while the court order remains in place.
Implications
- — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials must halt rollout of any reduced routine childhood vaccination schedule immediately — continuing implementation risks contempt of court and judicial enforcement.
