Public Health Groups Sue CDC and RFK Jr. over Vaccine Recommendations

HeadlineJan 21, 2026

Several public health groups are suing the Trump administration in an effort to reverse a policy by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to reduce the number of vaccines it recommends for children. The lawsuit accuses Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of manipulating a key vaccine advisory committee by installing unqualified members who promote vaccine mis- and disinformation, while failing to consider the harms the new policies may cause to families. The plaintiffs include the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Physicians and the American Public Health Association.
