"This decision protects children, respects families, and rebuilds trust in public health."

"This [2026] decision recommits HHS to all three [transparency, rigorous science, and respect for families]."

"This decision commits NIH, CDC, and FDA to gold standard science, greater transparency, and ongoing reassessment as new data emerge."

"No family will lose access.This [2026] framework empowers parents and physicians to make individualized decisions based on risk, while maintaining strong protection against serious disease."

"The data support a more focused schedule that protects children from the most serious infectious diseases while improving clarity, adherence, and public confidence."

“I think that a reduced schedule is going to endanger children and lay the groundwork for a resurgence in preventable disease.”

"This wildly irresponsible decision will put lives at risk."

“Changing the pediatric vaccine schedule based on no scientific input on safety risks and little transparency will cause unnecessary fear for patients and doctors, and will make America sicker.”

“There will be more diseases, more infection, more hospitalizations.”

Will Secretary Kennedy's U.S. Childhood Vaccine Schedule Overhaul Risk Public Health?

A federal judge in Boston temporarily blocked key parts of the Trump administration's overhaul of U.S. vaccine policy on Monday, ruling that changes to the childhood immunization schedule and the reconstitution of a federal vaccine advisory panel likely violated the Administrative Procedure Act.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy's 45-page ruling stayed the appointments of 13 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices named by Kennedy between June 2025 and January 2026, as well as all votes taken by the panel since its reconstitution.

In January, the CDC reduced the number of routinely recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, dropping recommendations for hepatitis A and B, rotavirus, RSV, influenza and meningococcal disease. Murphy found those changes bypassed the long-standing ACIP review process.

Murphy wrote that "the Government has disregarded those methods and thereby undermined the integrity of its actions," citing the administration's failure to follow scientifically grounded procedural requirements codified in law before altering the immunization schedule.

The ACIP meeting scheduled for March 18-19 in Atlanta was postponed following the ruling. The panel had been expected to discuss COVID-19 vaccine injuries, long COVID and the committee's recommendation methodology.

HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said the agency "looks forward to this judge's decision being overturned just like his other attempts to keep the Trump administration from governing." Attorneys for the plaintiffs said the dispute could ultimately reach the Supreme Court.
