US childhood immunisation cut to
11
An overhaul of US childhood immunisation guidelines has dropped the number of diseases children should be vaccinated against from 17 to 11.

The new list of recommended vaccines, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday, includes polio and measles vaccines, but others, like hepatitis A and B, and Covid vaccines, are recommended based on risk and "shared clinical decision-making" between doctors and parents, the announcement said.
