Some will complain it’s disappointing. I am well pleased. The message here is “parent and doctor collaboration and personal decision-making.” This tells parents that their personal decision-making is probably appropriate for all vaccines. Also, elsewhere, HHS is defending religious exemptions. Bobby doesn’t have to battle only big pharma on this issue.

For years, ACIP just voted OK, OK, OK.
