CDC scales back routine childhood vaccine recommendations
By Pearl Lewandowski,
2026-01-08LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is scaling back the number of vaccines it routinely recommends for children. The list is dropping from 17 vaccines to 11. Several shots that were once recommended for all children — including hepatitis A and B, meningitis, COVID-19 and the flu — are now being recommended based on a child’s individual risk. That means parents are being encouraged to discuss the vaccines with their child’s doctor rather than automatically following a one-size-fits-all schedule.
