Summary
56% of adults said in January they had little to no confidence in federal health agencies to make recommendations on childhood vaccine schedules.
The finding centers on trust in the CDC and FDA, the two agencies that shape and review U.S. vaccine guidance for children.
The result means a majority of adults now express skepticism toward the federal bodies responsible for advising families and clinicians on routine childhood immunizations.
