Doctors groups and public health organizations are suing the U.S. government over the decision to stop recommending COVID-19 vaccinations for most children and pregnant women.

Medical associations representing hundreds of thousands of doctors, medical professionals and scientists in the United States are suing the leaders of US health agencies for limiting who can get Covid-19 vaccines and for undermining overall vaccine confidence.

Several leading medical organizations on Monday filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Department of Health and Human Services, arguing that current policies on COVID-19 vaccines pose an imminent threat to public health.
