Since the CDC’s Jan. 5 announcement (pared down number of routinely recommended childhood vaccines), 19 states have said they won’t follow the new CDC schedule: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.

“This is not about public health,” Booras said. “It is about power, control and the growing influence of pharmaceutical-aligned trade groups over vaccine policy,” Booras said.

The CDC “did it in a way that aligns with immunology, it aligns with the best evidence, it aligns with what is really a way to protect communities and minimize the exposure of children to vaccines that they just don’t need,” Yohanan said.
