16-state coalition files amended complaint over vaccine schedule

Sixteen states, with New York and Vermont joining, filed an amended complaint challenging the January 2026 childhood vaccine schedule — which moved seven vaccines (rotavirus, meningococcal, hep A, hep B, flu, COVID, RSV) to shared-decision or risk-based recommendations. Kennedy and CDC Director Schwartz are named defendants.
