FORMER US CDC CHIEF MONAREZ SAYS KENNEDY PLANS TO CHANGE CHILDREN'S VACCINE SCHEDULE

Former U.S. CDC Director Susan Monarez told a Senate panel on Wednesday that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told her two days before her August firing that the childhood vaccination schedule would change in September.

Kennedy asked her to commit to approving the changes before reviewing scientific evidence, Monarez said. Kennedy also asked for blanket approval of the recommendations of the agency's vaccine advisory board and required her to seek her own political staff's approval for her policy and personnel decisions before ultimately firing her, Monarez said.
