"RFK Jr. has officially changed the US pediatric vaccine schedule. Let’s be very clear about what this means:

Reduced recommendations will result in confusion.

Confusion will result in fewer vaccinations.

Fewer vaccinations (specifically for rotavirus, COVID-19, influenza, RSV, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A and hepatitis B) will result in an increase in disease, disability, and death.

Please ignore this unscientific nonsense and follow the @ameracadpeds schedule alongside your pediatrician.

* Note: When the slides are available, I'll share them.

The Boston Globe also has an article assessing the recent changes to the vaccine policies and the impact to Massachusetts.
