Northeast States Form Public Health Coalition to Address Vaccine Policies and CDC Uncertainty

In a coordinated effort, several Northeastern states along with New York City have established the Northeast Public Health Collaborative in response to perceived inadequacies in federal vaccine policies and recent turmoil within the CDC. This coalition includes states such as Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, among others, aimed at developing unified vaccine recommendations. While New Hampshire has opted out, the coalition plans to challenge misinformation, specifically targeting anti-vaccine rhetoric. Health officials emphasize the need for collaboration to restore public trust in health guidelines amidst ongoing challenges.
