RFK Jr.’s Panel Recommends Delaying First Vaccine; Trump Orders Vaccine Review; State Flip-Flopping on Religious Exemptions

There have been quite a few developments recently on the vaccine front coming out of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new vaccine advisory panel recommends delaying the first vaccine that’s given to many children, the Hepatitis B vaccine that’s administered pretty much as soon as they’re born.

President Donald Trump signed an executive memo, starting the process of aligning the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule with other developed nations.

West Virginia is flip-flopping on the question of whether to allow religious exemptions for school vaccines.
