QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you like the new CDC guidelines for childhood vaccines?

The CDC made a major move this week, rolling back decades of scientific consensus to reduce the number of vaccines meant to be given in childhood.

The decision that removed vaccines against diseases such as influenza, some types of meningitis and COVID-19 from those recommended for all kids has drawn the ire of major medical groups.

Other significant vaccines -- measles, whooping cough, polio, tetanus, chickenpox and human papillomavirus, or HPV -- are still recommended universally.

What do you think? Do you like the new childhood vaccine guidelines? Let us know by voting in the poll.
