Trump's Vaccine Consultation: A Recipe for Confusion and Discord The Trump administration's recent move to solicit public feedback on vaccine policy recommendations has raised alarm among experts in the field.
On its surface, asking for public input may seem like a laudable attempt at transparency and inclusivity, but it is clear that this initiative is more about creating confusion and sowing doubt than genuinely seeking constructive feedback.
The administration's proposal to reexamine current vaccine recommendation categories – routine, risk based, and shared clinical decision making – has been met with skepticism by experts who point out that such a process would normally be handled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or its advisory committee on immunization practices (ACIP).
