A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from making big changes to vaccines for children in the United States. It is a blow to Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy - RFK Jr - a longtime vaccine sceptic who was given free rein by Donald Trump to 鈥済o wild with health鈥�.

Since taking office a year ago, Kennedy has sought to slash the number of recommended shots for children from 17 to 11. The American Academy of Paediatrics and other large medical groups have sued, saying Kennedy's changes violate federal law and are based on ideology instead of science.

Marianna Spring and Justin Webb unpack what this means for Donald Trump鈥檚 big plan to - as he puts it - "Make America Healthy Again鈥� with Dr Debra Houry, the former director of the CDC (Centre of Disease Control and Prevention) who resigned in August 2025.

Presenter: Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter and Marianna Spring, social media investigations correspondent
