A key legal adviser to Robert Kennedy Jr, Donald Trump’s pick for health secretary, is at the center of efforts to push federal drug regulators to revoke approval for the polio and hepatitis B vaccines and block distribution of 13 other critical vaccines.

What's the situation right now, in the US? Is vaccination (against, say, influenza) free? Or do you have to pay for it yourself? Or is it covered by your health insurance?

@helenS it's different for each person.

@Roundandroundwego thank you! The original poster said the new US government will "block distribution of 13 other critical vaccines".
I don't really know what that means, exactly. Will vaccines somehow be declared illegal or what?

@helenS probably push the decision to the states maybe... Seems to be what they do...
