CDC's Controversial Vaccine Overhaul Sparks Debate in America

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States has dramatically reduced the number of diseases children are advised to be immunized against, from 17 to 11, including removing COVID-19 and hepatitis B vaccines from the universal list. This move, supported by the Trump administration and Health Secretary Robert F.

Kennedy Jr., aims to shift vaccination decisions to individual risk assessment. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly condemns the change, warning of confusion and decreased confidence in immunization.

Critics argue that the comparison to Denmark's vaccination schedule is flawed due to population size and healthcare infrastructure differences.
