Medical Groups Sue US Over Dropped COVID Vaccine Guidance For Children, Pregnant Women

News summary

A coalition of leading medical groups and a pregnant physician have filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., challenging the decision to stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women. The groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Physicians, and American Public Health Association, argue that Kennedy's directive bypassed scientific review panels and ignored evidence showing heightened risks for these populations. The lawsuit accuses the administration of undermining vaccination efforts and spreading misinformation, warning that this policy threatens public health and could lead to preventable harm among children. Since taking office, Kennedy has also dismissed all members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and replaced them with appointees aligned with his agenda to overhaul vaccination policies under the slogan "Make America Healthy Again." Plaintiffs emphasize that these unilateral changes have eroded trust between doctors and patients and jeopardized the longstanding success of vaccination programs in the U.S. The administration has yet to respond publicly to these allegations.
