  • California and 14 other states filed suit against HHS and the CDC to overturn a January directive that narrowed routine vaccine guidance for children.

  • The directive, authored by Jay Bhattacharya, Mehmet Oz and Marty Makary, recommended routinely endorsing only six diseases while leaving other vaccines to provider judgment or high-risk determinations.
