CDC Acts on Presidential Memorandum to Update Childhood Immunization Schedule
The assessment reviewed 20 peer, developed nations and found that the U.S. is a global outlier among developed nations in both the number of diseases addressed in its routine childhood vaccination schedule and the total number of recommended doses but does not have higher vaccination rates than such countries. In fact, many peer nations that recommend fewer routine vaccines achieve strong child health outcomes and maintain high vaccination rates through public trust and education rather than mandates. For example, in 2024, the U.S. recommended more childhood vaccines than any peer nation, and more than twice as many doses as some European nations. At the lower end is Denmark, which immunizes children against 10 diseases compared to a total number of 18 diseases for which protection was provided in 2024 in the U.S.

US Shrinks Childhood Vaccine Schedule; Drops Six Common Vaccines from CDC Recommendations
US health officials announced Monday an overhauled version of the vaccines recommended to infants and adolescents, shrinking the number of diseases for which vaccines should be administered from 17 to 11.
The decision follows a December 5, 2025 directive from President Donald Trump to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to review the US childhood vaccine schedule in comparison to those of wealthy, peer-nations, citing Denmark, Germany and Japan in particular.
The revisions now mean that the US will go from being one of the developed nations with the highest number of diseases covered – to one of the lowest – according to HHS’s own analysis.

Among the core vaccines CDC will no longer recommend for all children are those that protect against rotavirus, influenza, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B (HBV).
The CDC also dropped a relatively new recommendation for newborns to be vaccinated against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) – if their mothers had not been previously vaccinated.
HHS ledning påstår att när de ställt vaccineringsrekommendationerna de har inhemskt med jämförbara länder ser de att deras program var för utbrett och har därmed valt att skära ned den.
Gör det korrekt i detta? De var tydligen ett väldigt tungt program de hade tidigare.
Själv är jag förvånad över att influensa-vaccinet var rekommenderat för barn. Det bästa skyddet mot influensa är att få det har jag förstått. Är inte själva metodiken i medicin: 'precis så pass mycket medicin som krävs'?
Kommer detta leda till död och elände eller uppfyller detta MAHA-löftet att stoppa epidemin av kroniska sjukdomar?
