Proposal to split combination vaccines alarms pediatric groups
Plans previewed around Overton’s nomination to break up combination childhood vaccines have pediatric organizations warning of more shots, more visits, and lower completion rates. Coverage continues to develop across major outlets as editors weigh confirmation thresholds against the speed of the news cycle.

Both sides of contested claims are preserved in the agreement and conflict fields so the homepage card does not collapse disagreement into a single narrative voice.
