Federal judge in Massachusetts blocks RFK Jr.-backed changes to U.S. vaccine policy
The Facts
- U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston, Massachusetts, blocked key parts of the Trump administration’s vaccine policy changes associated with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- The ruling came in a lawsuit brought by the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical groups challenging the legality of the vaccine policy changes.
- The judge’s order temporarily blocked changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, including efforts to reduce the number of shots routinely recommended for children.
- The court also halted, at least for now, decisions made by the vaccine advisory committee members appointed after Kennedy reshaped the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP).
- Judge Murphy indicated the government did not follow required scientific or procedural methods in making the vaccine policy changes.
- The ruling prevents the reconstituted ACIP from meeting later this week as scheduled, according to reporting on the decision.
