Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) has commenced an action to see if Congress can block the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new vaccine schedule for children and adolescents, saying he’s concerned that schools will use the guidelines to impose a vaccine mandate.
In a May 16 letter (pdf), the lawmaker asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to undertake an analysis on whether a recent CDC immunization schedule update qualifies as an official “rule” for the purpose of the Congressional Review Act.
