NC lawmakers weight how to deal with unfunded mandates, cuts as feds overhaul SNAP

‘Shared decision-making’ for childhood vaccines sounds empowering – but it may mean less access for families already stretched thin

By Y. Tony Yang The Conversation When federal health officials announced on Jan. 5, 2026, that they were taking six out of 17 vaccines off the childhood immunization schedule, they argued that the move would give parents and caregivers more choice. Instead of all U.S. children routinely receiving them, these six vaccines are now optional – available to families who request them after consulting a clinician, through a process called…...
