U.S. federal health officials are reducing the number of recommended pediatric immunizations from 17 to 11. The updated schedule consists of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, pneumococcal disease, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, HPV (down to one dose instead of two), and varicella. Meningitis, hepatitis A and B, dengue and respiratory syncytial virus will now be recommended only for "high-risk" groups, while vaccines such as rotavirus, COVID-19 and flu now come under the category of "shared clinical decision-making." Here's more detail from Stat News.
