Medical groups sue over policy to stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for children and pregnant women.

Several leading medical groups have sued the U.S. government over decisions to stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for children and pregnant women. The lawsuit, filed in Boston federal court, argues that the policy reversal may increase illness and death risks. The suit targets actions by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who replaced the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices with members lacking expertise in vaccines and infectious diseases. Critics say these changes could undermine vaccine confidence and public health.
