Allies of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are pushing legislation in more than half a dozen states to dismantle vaccine requirements in schools and workplaces, claiming state-level action would have a more immediate impact on people’s daily lives than federal policy changes.
