California preparing lawsuit over Trump administration vaccine changes

California leads a multistate lawsuit challenging vaccine schedule changes by the Trump administration, citing concerns over legality and potential drops in vaccination rates, medical groups say.

  • Amid the CDC's revised schedule, California is preparing a lawsuit to challenge recent changes to U.S. childhood vaccine recommendations, including removal of universal vaccine advice.
  • The planned complaint would seek to replace the Kennedy-appointed Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and have its decisions overturned, reflecting changes since he took office last year.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics and other organizations sued to stop the new schedule, arguing it was illegal and public health experts warned it could lower vaccination rates.
  • On Tuesday, Bonta and William Tong said their teams are assessing the complaint and coordinating a potential multistate filing, with Tong confirming `we're scrambling our jets`.
  • Under U.S. law, most vaccine injury claims go through a special HHS vaccine injury court that limits liability for drugmakers, while Rob Bonta said he would `maybe` work with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who led mass litigation against vaccine makers.
