## Resource

Fifteen states, including New Mexico, are challenging recent federal changes to the childhood immunization schedule. The new directive reduces the number of diseases kids are vaccinated against from seventeen to eleven, aiming to align with international standards. However, this move is being contested in court, with critics arguing that established scientific and legal processes were bypassed. The legal battle is causing uncertainty for parents, as the older, more comprehensive immunization schedule remains in effect due to a federal judges preliminary injunction. The states aim to reverse these changes and restore broader vaccine recommendations for children. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
