Hospitals and doctors in the US are ignoring the new vaccination scheme of the federal authorities under the leadership of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and they rely on the recommendations of pediatricians.[1][2] The new scheme reduces the number of universally recommended vaccines for children from 17 to 11.[1][2] Rotavirus, influenza, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningococcal vaccines have moved from routine recommendations to the category of "shared clinical decision making" between physicians and parents.[1][2][3] At least 17 states have announced that they are ignoring the new federal scheme.[2] The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has stated that the US is not Denmark and it makes no sense to impose the Danish vaccination schedule on American families.[2] This change came about based on a comparison with the Danish system and instructions from President Donald Trump.[1][2] For hepatitis B vaccination after birth, the committee recommends the vaccine only for children of test-positive or untested mothers, otherwise parents and doctors decide.[4]
