State Attorneys General Sue RFK Jr., Seeking to Reinstate Childhood Vaccine Schedule
A group of 17 state attorneys general has sued Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aiming to reinstate the previous childhood vaccine schedule in the United States. The lawsuit was filed by AGs from states with Democratic governors, who argue that changes made under RFK’s leadership have disrupted public health protocols. They claim these alterations could endanger children's well-being. The amended complaint was submitted in U.S. District Court and highlights concerns over potential gaps in immunization coverage due to the revised schedule. The legal action reflects a broader political divide on vaccine policy, with Democratic-led states pushing back against what they view as regressive changes under RFK’s tenure at HHS.
