The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced Monday that it would be shaking up the recommended childhood vaccine schedule in order to bring it into alignment with those of other developed nations. As a result, the CDC will now be recommending 10 vaccines for all children, reducing by seven its prior recommendation of 17 vaccinations. //

I ran this thru chatgpt because even the multiple links already provided by commenters don't clearly lay out the old vs the new. For children, the first 11 are still recommended. The remainder were recommended until yesterday but are now subject to "shared clinical decision making" and no longer outright recommended.
Still recommended (11)
Measles
Mumps
Rubella
Polio
Pertussis (whooping cough)
Tetanus
Diphtheria
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
Pneumococcal disease
Human papillomavirus (HPV)
Varicella (chickenpox)
Removed from universal recommendation (6)
Influenza
COVID-19
Rotavirus
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Meningococcal disease
The 7th one no longer recommended is RSV. For some reason, it is sometimes counted, sometimes not (at least from what I could figure out).
Usual AI caveats... But this looks right based on the information at the other commenters' links.
