Back to EpisodesStates Reject CDC Vaccine Guidance, Chart Own Paths
Description
In a significant shift, 29 states and D.C. are defying CDC vaccine guidance, with a clear partisan divide. The CDC reduced recommended childhood shots from 13 to 7, leading states to forge their own paths. Democratic-led states like Virginia are reversing course, while Floridas Senate seeks to make it easier for parents to skip vaccines. Louisiana has stopped promoting shots. Fifteen Democratic states filed a lawsuit, and groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics stick to the old schedule. States are also collaborating outside federal channels, with the Northeast Public Health Collaborative following pediatric guidelines and 14 Democratic governors forming an alliance to share health info.
