- Trump and Kennedy are jointly advancing efforts to reshape childhood vaccination policy in the U.S., according to the document
- HHS asked whether new categories should be added to the current vaccine recommendation system, which includes universal, risk-based, and shared clinical decision-making tiers

Why it matters: This marks a formal step toward altering long-standing vaccine guidelines, with real policy changes now contingent on public response.
