The CDC on Monday dramatically reduced the number of vaccines it recommends for all children. Here’s what parents should know.

Six routine vaccines that have safeguarded millions from serious diseases are no longer being recommended for all children by the CDC.

Federal officials reduce childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, sparking concern over increased infection risk.

Yesterday, in introducing drastic cuts to the nation’s childhood immunization schedule, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said “shared clinical decision-making” would be used for pediatric vaccines against rotavirus, COVID-19, influenza, hepatitis A and B, and meningococcal disease.

Flu activity could continue to increase in the U.S. over the next few weeks, according to a top flu epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "There's a lot of influenza out there right now," Dr. Carrie Reed, chief of the epidemiology and prevention branch of the CDC's influenza division, told ABC News.

Scientific assessment for reducing recommended vaccine doses by two-thirds blasted "false CDC claims that vaccine-acquired immunity was superior to infection-acquired immunity," but CDC is still discouraging natural immunity.
