If the decision becomes final, it stands to all but wipe away a year’s worth of vaccine-policy change at the CDC. The judge’s ruling calls for staying “all votes taken” by the panel since Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. remade it—essentially resetting the United States’ vaccine-policy clock to early 2025. But the ruling remains preliminary, and the Trump administration has already hinted at its intent to appeal. Andrew Nixon, the deputy assistant secretary for media relations at HHS, did not respond to a request for comment, but he told reporters this week that “HHS looks forward to this judge’s decision being overturned just like his other attempts to keep the Trump administration from governing.”
