Pediatricians in the US are facing a conflict with the federal government over changes in childhood vaccination recommendations. The Trump administration, through the CDC and HHS, has canceled routine vaccinations against six diseases, including the flu, rotavirus and hepatitis, and is advising parents to consult with their doctors. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) continues to recommend vaccination against 18 diseases for all children. At least 19 states have rejected the CDC's new recommendations and are sticking with the AAP's previous plan. More than 200 organizations have signed a letter to Congress calling for an investigation into the changes, and the AAP is taking legal action. Parents are forced to choose between recommendations from pediatricians and the federal government, with pediatricians remaining the most trusted source of information, according to a KFF/Washington Post poll. The changes are taking place at a time of increasing cases of vaccine-preventable diseases. All vaccines remain covered by insurance companies.[1][2][3]
