The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday announced a dramatic change in its recommended childhood vaccine schedule. The agency will reduce the number of recommended routine immunizations for all children. CDC slashes childhood vaccine schedule in unprecedented overhaul following pandemic trust issues https://t.co/KQEZYkCXIG pic.twitter.com/DjqKynR15O — New York Post (@nypost) January 5, 2026 “The CDC will continue to recommend that all children are vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (whooping cough), Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Pneumococcal conjugate, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, and human papillomavirus (HPV), for which there is international consensus, as well as varicella (chickenpox),” the CDC stated. The agency will narrow recommendations for vaccination against “respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV; meningococcal disease; hepatitis B; and hepatitis A to children who are broadly at higher risk for infections,” CNN noted. “Like all medical products, vaccines and other immunizing agents have different risk-benefit profiles for different groups of people. Risk factors can include unusual exposure to the disease, underlying comorbidities, or the risk of disease transmission to others,” the CDC stated. “The immunizations recommended for certain high-risk groups or populations are for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue, meningococcal ACWY, and meningococcal B,” it added. Fox News shared further: According to a CDC release, Deputy Health and Human Services Secretary Jim O’Neill, serving as acting CDC director, signed a decision memorandum accepting the findings of a comprehensive scientific assessment ordered by President Trump in December. The review examined childhood immunization practices in 20 peer, developed nations and found that the United States is a “global outlier” in both the number of diseases covered by its routine childhood vaccine schedule and the total number of recommended doses. The assessment concluded that the U.S. does not achieve higher vaccination rates than countries that recommend fewer vaccines. “President Trump directed us to examine how other developed nations protect their children and to take action if they are doing better,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a statement. “After an exhaustive review of the evidence, we are aligning the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule with international consensus while strengthening transparency and informed consent,” Kennedy said. “This decision protects children, respects families, and rebuilds trust in public health.” Under the updated framework, the CDC will continue organizing vaccines into three categories: those recommended for all children, those recommended for certain high-risk groups, and those based on shared clinical decision-making. “It is not always possible for public health authorities to clearly define who will benefit from an immunization, who has the relevant risk factors, or who is at risk for exposure. Physicians and parents, who know the child, are then best equipped to decide based on individual characteristics,” the CDC stated. “The immunizations based on shared clinical decision-making are for rotavirus, COVID-19, influenza, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B,” it added. “All vaccines currently recommended by CDC will remain covered by insurance without cost sharing,” Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Mehmet Oz said. “No family will lose access. This framework empowers parents and physicians to make individualized decisions based on risk, while maintaining strong protection against serious disease,” he continued. “Public health works only when people trust it,” FDA Commissioner Marty Makary commented. “That trust depends on transparency, rigorous science, and respect for families. This decision recommits HHS to all three,” he added. “Science demands continuous evaluation,” NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya said. “This decision commits NIH, CDC, and FDA to gold standard science, greater transparency, and ongoing reassessment as new data emerge,” he continued. “The assessment also documents a significant decline in public trust in health care institutions between 2020 and 2024, alongside falling childhood vaccination rates and increased risk of vaccine-preventable diseases,” the CDC release read. “The accepted recommendations recognize there is a need for more and better gold standard science, including placebo-controlled randomized trials and long-term observational studies to better characterize vaccine benefits, risks, and outcomes. HHS agencies are called on to fund this gold standard science for all vaccines on the schedule,” it continued. The CDC is dropping universal recommendations for certain childhood vaccines, including Covid-19, flu and hepatitis B shots https://t.co/4HA7kDuS0W — The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) January 5, 2026 CNN has more: The new US schedule of childhood vaccines more closely resembles that of other developed nations such as Denmark, as CNN reported last month. Denmark does not currently recommend childhood vaccinations against rotavirus, hepatitis A, meningococcal, flu, chickenpox or RSV. US health officials initially planned to announce the changes in December, weeks after Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg, newly named acting director of the US Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, gave a presentation on the Danish vaccine schedule to the CDC’s panel of vaccine advisers. The panel, the Advisory Committee on Immunizations Practices, was reconstituted last year with a new group of members after US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine skeptic, dismissed all previous appointees.

President Trump on Monday said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “will possibly leave office before his Term is up.” Trump’s statement follows Walz announcing he will drop his re-election campaign. BREAKING: As Tim Walz Drops Minnesota Gubernatorial Campaign, Democrat Senator May Enter Race "Minnesota’s Corrupt Governor will possibly leave office before his Term is up but, in any event, will not be running again because he was caught, REDHANDED, along with Ilhan Omar, and others of his Somali friends, stealing Tens of Billions of Taxpayer Dollars," Trump said on Truth Social. "I feel certain the facts will come out, and they will reveal a seriously unscrupulous, and rich, group of 'SLIMEBALLS.' Governor Walz has destroyed the State of Minnesota, but others, like Governor Gavin Newscum, JB Pritzker, and Kathy Hochul, have done, in my opinion, an even more dishonest and incompetent job. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!" he added. Minnesota’s Corrupt Governor will possibly leave office before his Term is up but, in any event, will not be running again because he was caught, REDHANDED, along with Ilhan Omar, and others of his Somali friends, stealing Tens of Billions of Taxpayer Dollars. I feel certain the… — Commentary: Trump Truth Social Posts On X (@TrumpTruthOnX) January 5, 2026 NBC News has more: Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, cited heightened attention on fraud allegations in Minnesota, adding that "the political gamesmanship we’re seeing from Republicans is only making that fight harder to win." "But as I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all," he said. "Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences." "So I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work," Walz said. The surprise announcement, coming just months after Walz had confirmed he planned to run again, sends a political shock wave through the state and creates a key vacancy at the top of its government. Walz faced no serious primary threat and had been the favorite to win re-election later this year. "I don't want to mince words here. Donald Trump and his allies in Washington and in Saint Paul and online want to make our state a colder, meaner place," Walz said. Footage below: Tim Walz: "I don't want to mince words here. Donald Trump and his allies in Washington and in Saint Paul and online want to make our state a colder, meaner place." pic.twitter.com/FBDHEVJbqd — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) January 5, 2026 MPR News shared further: Responses to Walz’s decisions fell largely along party lines with DFLers praising his work and Republicans attacking Walz as incompetent. State Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy, DFL-St. Paul, applauded Walz for his leadership “through some of the most difficult challenges in our history, through COVID and civil unrest, through chaotic, hostile presidencies, the assassinations of June 14” and the killings at Annunciation Church and School in Minneapolis. Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer, in response to Walz’s announcement, issued a two-word statement: “Good riddance.” Ahead of Monday’s news, more than a dozen Republicans had entered the governor’s race, sensing vulnerability for Walz despite his comfortable wins in 2018 and 2022. It was a turnabout for Walz, who built himself into a national figure by touting Democratic accomplishments in his state on his watch. During a summer shakeup for Democrats that led to President Joe Biden ending his reelection campaign in 2024, Walz landed the vice presidential nomination under Kamala Harris. But that increased stature brought him greater scrutiny and made him an attractive target of conservatives. That included President Donald Trump, whose own efforts to weaken Walz intensified lately. In recent weeks, Trump pushed his agencies to investigate Minnesota on multiple fronts and threatened to withhold money for day care, nutrition and transportation programs if the governor’s administration didn’t bend to data demands or policy changes.
