A document the Department of Health and Human Services sent to lawmakers to support Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to change U.S. policy on covid vaccines cites scientific studies that are unpublished or under dispute and mischaracterizes others.
On June 13, 2025, Xavier Becerra, the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, testified before Congress about proposed changes to the national vaccine schedule. Becerra emphasized the need for updated guidelines to address emerging variants of diseases and improve overall public health outcomes. He highlighted the administration's commitment to increasing vaccine accessibility and equity, particularly in underserved communities. The proposed changes include adjustments to the recommended ages for certain vaccinations and the introduction of new vaccines targeting specific strains of influenza and other respiratory illnesses. Becerra faced questions from lawmakers about the scientific basis for these changes and the potential impact on public trust in vaccination programs. He assured Congress that the proposals were developed in consultation with leading health experts and would undergo a thorough review process before implementation.
