RFK Jr. Approves ACIP Recommendation to Remove Thimerosal from U.S. Flu Vaccines
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has approved the ACIP's recommendation to discontinue thimerosal in flu vaccines.
The move aims to restore public trust despite evidence showing thimerosal is safe in low doses.
Only about 4% of U.S. flu vaccine doses contain thimerosal.
The decision reflects Kennedy's efforts to address vaccine safety concerns, particularly among skeptics.
