Governor Lamont Statement on Trump Administration Overhaul of Childhood Vaccine Schedule
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont released the following statement in response to the announcement by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is overhauling the childhood vaccine schedule by eliminating vaccinations for several diseases:
“For generations, these vaccinations have successfully limited the spread of contagious diseases, diminished their impacts, and kept the public safe and healthy. There is no legitimate medical rationale for changing course now. Modifying this national guidance will just create more confusion and anxiety among parents. It will also place more burdens on doctors and medical professionals, and at worst it will endanger the health of children. Medical decisions need to be determined by science, not conspiracy theories. Here in Connecticut, we will continue to support our medical community and support their recommendations when it comes to protecting public health.”
