March 17, 2026 • Google News World

A federal judge has blocked Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s overhaul of vaccine recommendations, citing a flawed process.

The decision was made by a US District Court judge who ruled that the proposed changes to the childhood vaccine schedule were not based on sufficient scientific evidence. The judge found that the process used to develop the new recommendations was inadequate and did not follow established guidelines.

As part of his efforts to overhaul the vaccine schedule, Kennedy Jr. had proposed changing the recommended vaccination schedule for children. However, the court’s decision means that these changes will not be implemented.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health organizations have stated that the current vaccine schedule is based on extensive scientific research and is widely accepted by the medical community.

A number of news outlets reported on the development of Kennedy Jr.’s proposed changes to the vaccine schedule, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Guardian, The Hill, and NBC News.
