Legal Action Taken Against US Health Department Over COVID-19 Vaccine Policies

Several prominent medical organizations have taken legal action against the US Department of Health and Human Services and Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The lawsuit argues that the current policies regarding COVID-19 vaccines are a threat to public health. The group has requested the court to overturn Kennedy's recent directive that removed the COVID-19 vaccine from the CDC's childhood and pregnant women immunization schedules. Organizations involved in the lawsuit include the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Physicians, American Public Health Association, Infectious Diseases Society of America, and others. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
