Highlights
  • The CDC now classifies vaccines into three categories, universally recommended, high risk, and shared decision, redefining what is routinely given.
  • Public health groups warn the changes could cause confusion and weaken routine coverage during a flu season already stressing health systems.
  • Health authorities emphasize the changes are recommendations, not mandates, and families can still pursue previously advised vaccines with clinician guidance.
