Judge temporarily blocks RFK Jr.’s efforts to reshape childhood vaccine policy

A Massachusetts judge ruled on Monday in favor of medical organizations in their litigation against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over several of his changes to federal vaccine policy.

District Judge Brian Murphy temporarily blocked changes to the childhood vaccine schedule that were made at the beginning of this year, in which Kennedy reduced the number of recommended shots from 17 to 11.

About Trending

A breaking news story is one that elicits immediate national coverage, requiring many stations to interrupt regularly scheduled non-news programming (or in some cases, regular network newscasts) to provide live updates. The interruption is generally marked by a countdown sequence, and the newscast may be paused for network affiliates to switch to the national feed. In some cases, the break is also marked with an opening graphic and distinctive music cue, or by a special “Newsflash” or “Special Report” ticker. In recent years, 24-hour news networks have made special tickers available during regularly scheduled programming, lessening the need for breaking news cut-ins.
