CDC panel recommends multiple shots for measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox instead of single vaccine

The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has voted to change the US vaccine policy, recommending that children receive multiple vaccines to protect against measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox, instead of a single vaccine. This decision has raised concerns among experts that increasing the number of required vaccinations could threaten children's health. The new recommendations from ACIP, which typically determine the vaccines provided free of charge by the US government, shape state and local vaccine laws, and influence health insurers' coverage, have arrived just a day after former CDC officials criticized Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for being a threat to children's ability to receive vaccines on schedule. The article suggests that the decision to move away from the single vaccine has sparked concern among experts, who worry that the increased number of required vaccinations could have a negative impact on children's health.
