Overview

A coalition of 15 states has initiated legal action against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The lawsuit aims to reverse recent changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, which the states argue were made unlawfully. The abrupt overhaul of the immunization schedule has raised concerns among these states, prompting them to challenge the federal government's actions in court.
