The U.S. government has announced a major change to its routine vaccine recommendations for children, reducing the number of recommended jabs from 17 to 11. This decision, which will take effect immediately, has been met with criticism from experts who warn that it could erode public trust in vaccines and increase the spread of infectious diseases. The vaccines targeted for reduced recommendations include those against influenza, rotavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The changes have been attributed to the influence of long-time vaccine critic Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been a part of the Trump administration. Experts argue that this move will negatively impact vaccine access and acceptance, potentially leading to a rise in preventable illnesses. They emphasize the importance of maintaining robust vaccination programs to protect public health and prevent the resurgence of deadly diseases.
