Kennedy's new vaccine panel alarms pediatricians with inquiries into long-settled questions
Briefly

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s newly appointed vaccine advisory panel has raised alarms among pediatricians by revisiting established questions regarding children's vaccination schedules. Chairman Martin Kulldorff announced a work group to assess the overall impact of the vaccine schedule and specific vaccines, which aligns with skepticism around vaccine safety. This shift highlights a departure from established consensus, particularly given Kennedy's history as an antivaccine activist. In response, the American Academy of Pediatrics will continue publishing its independent vaccination schedule, emphasizing the need for clarity amidst growing debate.
Vaccines are not all good or bad. We are learning more about vaccines over time and must keep up to date.
The claims that too many shots may overwhelm kids' immune systems have been repeatedly investigated with no signs of concern.
