RFK Jr.'s CDC isn’t letting states order COVID-19 shots for kids, blocking access

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has blocked states from ordering COVID-19 vaccines for children, citing concerns that the orders may not be 'appropriate.' The move has been criticized by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent vaccine advocate, who claims that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is overstepping its authority by refusing to allow states to make their own decisions about vaccine orders. Kennedy argues that the CDC's actions are preventing states from taking necessary steps to protect their citizens.
