WASHINGTON \u2014 President Trump and health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are pressing ahead with efforts to change how kids in the U.S. get their shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest move, a request for information<\/a> posted Friday, offers more clues to Kennedy and Trump\u2019s vision for vaccine policy, and shows that pursuing changes is a priority. It does not make any changes itself, but it asks for feedback on a wide variety of ideas. It gives the public 30 days to comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
