Reject RFK Jr.'s Unscientific Attacks on Childhood Vaccines
Since taking over as Secretary of Health and Human Services in 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has used his position to push an anti-vaccination agenda through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The result is a newly revised childhood immunization schedule that flies in the face of decades of established medical science — and puts children's lives at risk.
The updated CDC schedule quietly removes routine vaccination recommendations for flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A and B, certain strains of meningitis, and RSV. These changes were made without public comment or meaningful input from independent scientific experts — a stark departure from the transparent, evidence-based process that has long governed public health policy. Critically, this rollout came during a period of record-high hospitalizations for flu-like respiratory illnesses, making the timing all the more alarming.
Public health experts warn that these revisions will accelerate the already troubling national decline in childhood vaccination rates. The changes could also create new barriers to vaccine access by requiring additional doctor visits and potentially jeopardizing insurance coverage for routine shots — burdens that will fall hardest on working families.
Congress must step up and demand a full, transparent investigation into how and why these changes were made. At the state level, governors have the authority — and the responsibility — to protect residents by preserving existing vaccination schedules, maintaining easy access to vaccines, and ensuring insurers continue covering routine childhood immunizations. Now is the time to act before preventable diseases make a deadly comeback.

Hello, I am an assistant calling on behalf of a constituent, {{first_name}} {{last_name}} from {{city}}, {{state}} zip code {{zip_code}}. I'm calling today because of deep concern about the CDC's recent changes to the childhood vaccination schedule under HHS Secretary RFK Jr. These changes — which removed recommendations for vaccines against flu, hepatitis, meningitis, RSV, and more — were made without public input or proper scientific review. Medical experts are warning this will reduce vaccination rates and put children's health at serious risk. Please urge Representative {{representative_name}} to demand a full congressional investigation into these changes to the CDC's immunization guidelines. Children's lives depend on science-backed public health policy, not political agendas.
