States Sue Trump Administration Over Vaccine Rollback

More than a dozen states, including United States===Arizona and United States===California, have sued the Trump administration over its rollback of vaccine recommendations for children. The states argue that the United States===Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) jeopardized public health by ceasing to recommend universal immunization against diseases like flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningitis, and RSV. This new guidance, which suggests 'shared decision-making' or recommendations only for high-risk groups, has drawn criticism from medical experts and is seen as an illegal threat to public health. The lawsuit escalates an ongoing dispute between Democratic-led states and the Trump administration regarding federal public health policy, particularly under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The complaint also alleges that Kennedy unlawfully ousted and replaced members of a vaccine advisory committee. This legal action follows an alliance formed by the governors of United States===California, United States===Washington (state), and United States===Oregon to establish their own vaccine guidelines, citing concerns about the politicization of the CDC.
