Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham has halted mass vaccination promotion, citing individual choice, despite ongoing flu season challenges. This directive follows the controversial appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health chief. The memo discontinues state-led vaccination campaigns for flu, COVID-19, and mpox, fueling concerns of increased preventable illnesses and deaths. Health experts warn that the overall vaccination rate is already low, potentially exacerbated by misinformation. Meanwhile, New Orleans officials reaffirm their commitment to promoting vaccinations after a recent city council resolution, as the state grapples with rising exemptions and reports of severe flu.
