The Trump administration has slashed routine childhood vaccine recommendations from 17 to 11, effective immediately, a move experts warn will reduce immunization access and increase infectious disease transmission.

Vaccines for influenza, rotavirus, and RSV are no longer universally recommended, shifting to high-risk or shared clinical decision-making status. This change, overseen by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aims to make several immunizations optional rather than standard routine for all children.

The shift aligns the US schedule with Denmark's as the nation faces its largest measles outbreak in decades. Concurrently, domestic cases of tetanus and fatal pertussis infections have reached multi-year highs.
