HHS Reviews Federal Immunization Recommendations Amid Stakeholder Input
What happened
The process for developing federal immunization recommendations is underway, with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leading the review. HHS opened a request for information in August, seeking public input on the categories currently used in federal recommendations. The Governors Public Health Alliance submitted its comments on September 19, calling for a stable, transparent, and evidence-based national framework.

Why it matters
The review focuses on three categories: routine or universal vaccination, risk-based vaccination, and vaccination based on shared clinical decision-making. The agency is also evaluating whether these categories are sufficiently clear and if additional categories should be considered, given the potential consequences for state public health systems.
