US reinstates global vaccine program after freezing funding last year
The US will reinstate $600 million in funding to GAVI, the global vaccine program, reversing a freeze by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who had cited concerns about vaccine safety and autism links. The decision follows pressure from President Donald Trump, who also expressed worries about vaccines, and marks a shift in policy.
