The CDC is revamping childhood vaccine recommendations, reducing the number of diseases covered from seventeen to eleven. This change may affect families, schools, and daycares nationwide, as these guidelines often dictate insurance coverage and enrollment rules. The new plan suggests vaccines like hepatitis B for newborns and RSV shots only for high-risk kids, not all. The schedule is divided into three groups: one for all children, one for at-risk groups, and others based on doctor-parent discussions. All are supposed to be covered by insurance with no out-of-pocket costs. Parents in Tennessee express concern about increased sickness due to fewer vaccines, while new polling shows strong support for vaccines in the state. The CDC will monitor disease rates closely as the new guidelines take effect. Checkout Solipillow.com
