Checking the head of the Robert Kennedy-founded Children's Health Defense group. She said on Wisconsin radio that the government recommends "at least 77 vaccines" for kids. You could count that many doses, but not nearly that many vaccines and other immunizations. wisconsinwatch.org/2025/05/vacc...
Does federal government recommend 70+ vaccines for children?
Federal 2025 general recommendations are that children receive about 19 vaccinations and other immunizations. Total doses could exceed 70.
