A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked key parts of HHS’s childhood vaccine policy after ruling in a case brought by the AAP and other medical organizations.

A stay granted by Judge Brian Murphy halts the implementation of HHS’s reduced childhood immunization schedule released earlier this year and halts the 13 recently appointed members of the ACIP vaccine advisory panel from serving ahead of their planned meeting later this week. The court also invalidated prior votes taken by the panel to change vaccine recommendations.

At least 50 infants died in an inclined sleeper after the products were recalled, according to a new “Pediatrics” study. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of nearly 5 million inclined sleepers after reports of infant deaths in April 2019. A few years later, Congress banned the manufacturing and distribution of inclined sleepers and crib bumpers.

AAP recommends that infants sleep on their backs on a firm, flat, non-inclined surface with no loose bedding or soft objects. Learn more in AAP News: https://bit.ly/4kWL9EP
