Closer Look with Rose Scott

Feedback Friday: Trump-era public health policy shifts raise alarm


Listen Later

There have been significant public health policy changes under the Trump administration, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent statement. He announced the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for healthy pregnant women and children.

 

This all comes as ongoing concerns heighten about other key public health policies related to environmental health, health equity, mental health, infectious diseases, reproductive health, and the impact of climate change.

 

For today’s edition of Feedback Friday on “Closer Look,” Rose is joined by Atlanta-based internist Dr. Dhaval Desai. He discusses the timeline of these actions and gives his analysis about the potential consequences and impact.

 

*On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its language regarding COVID-19 vaccinations for age groups.
