CDC Halts Successful Flu Vaccine Campaign
2025-02-21
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has abruptly halted its successful "Wild to Mild" flu vaccination campaign. The campaign, which used imagery comparing wild animals to their gentler counterparts to illustrate the vaccine's effect, was reportedly shut down by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) following Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s appointment. This decision comes amidst a severe flu season and has sparked controversy. While the CDC claims the campaign effectively reset public expectations about flu vaccines, an HHS spokesperson alleges misrepresentation of guidance by CDC officials.
