Experts raise alarm over Trump’s public consultation on vaccines policy

Asking people to weigh in on adoption of different categories in move that will sow confusion and create access challenges, say experts

The Trump administration is asking for public feedback on changes to the ways it recommends vaccines - likely opening the door to greater access challenges and confusion, experts say.

In a notice published by the health and human services (HHS) to the Federal Register on Friday, officials say they are now seeking comments from the public about the current categories for vaccine recommendations, which so far fall into routine, risk-based and shared clinical decision-making.
