Recent changes to vaccines have left some citizens concerned about their health in light of the upcoming respiratory illness season.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took office earlier this year and, since then, has made several changes to the funding and administration of vaccines in the United States.
