N. WISCONSIN - Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services, led by Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ryan Westergaard, has rejected the federal government’s revised childhood vaccine schedule, retaining the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations, stating the federal changes lacked “systematic, transparent reviews of scientific evidence” and were unwarranted. He advised Wisconsin clinicians to follow AAP guidance, emphasizing schedules are clinical tools, not mandates, and insurance coverage is unchanged. At least 16 other states have rejected the federal changes, and Westergaard disagreed with applying “shared clinical decision making” without rigorous review.
