CDC Vaccine शेड्यूल बड़ा बदलाव: 18 से घटकर 11 वैक्सीन, फ्लू-COVID अब डॉक्टर से पूछें!

CDC Vaccine ने बच्चों के वैक्सीन शेड्यूल बदला: 18 से 11 universal vaccines। Flu, COVID, Rotavirus अब डॉक्टर consultation। AAP-IDSA विरोध। RFK Jr leadership में international alignment। Parents को flexible choice लेकिन experts warn coverage drop।

CDC Vaccine चाइल्डहुड वैक्सीनेशन शेड्यूल में क्रांतिकारी बदलाव: अब सिर्फ 11 कोर वैक्सीन

अमेरिका के सेंटर्स फॉर डिसीज कंट्रोल (CDC) ने बच्चों के टीकाकरण शेड्यूल में ऐतिहासिक बदलाव किया। पहले 18 recommended vaccines अब घटकर 11 universal। Flu, COVID-19, Rotavirus अब “consultation-only”। Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. के नेतृत्व में ये decision international best practices से align करने को कहा गया था। लेकिन paediatric associations इसे “dangerous” बता रहीं ।​

RFK Jr & Trump Administration का तर्क

Presidential Memorandum (Dec 2025): Peer nations compare करने को कहा। Denmark, Sweden, UK schedules study।
Claim: Over-vaccination theory। Public trust rebuild।
Insurance: सभी vaccines covered रहेंगे।
Placebo trials: Long-term vaccine timing study शुरू।

Medical Community का विरोध

AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics):

“Dangerous and unnecessary cuts. Creates tiers implying some vaccines matter less.” – Dr Sean O’Leary​

IDSA Warning: Families/communities risk।
AMA Statement: Science unchanged, access continue।
Yale Pediatrician: Confusion = lower coverage।

विशेषज्ञ चिंताएं: Coverage Drop Risk

Historical Data:

• 2019: MMR coverage 93.5% → 2023: 92.7%
• Hep B birth dose: 70% → potential further drop
• Flu vaccine kids: 60% → consultation barrier​

European Comparison Reality Check

Country	Total Vaccines	Flu Kids?	COVID Kids?	Hep B Birth?
USA (Old)	18	Yes	Yes	Yes
USA (New)	11+6 consult	Consult	Consult	High-risk
Denmark	12	No	No	No
Sweden	11	No	No	Selective
UK	13	No	High-risk	Selective ​

Implementation Impact Predictions
