Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has joined a multi-state lawsuit against the Trump administration after the CDC issued a memo that no longer outright recommends multiple childhood vaccines. The lawsuit claims that Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. illegally replaced several members on the federal recommendations panel last year, making the panel's recommendations unlawful. The CDC's memo stripped multiple vaccines, including flu, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A and B, COVID-19, and RSV, of their universally recommended status. Shapiro posted about the lawsuit on X, saying, "It's time Donald Trump and RFK Jr. stop screwing around with the childhood vaccine schedule. We trust our doctors and our parents to make the best decisions for our kids – not RFK Jr." The fifteen states suing the Trump administration, all led by Democrats, claim the changes are not backed by science.
