and Human Services shall be reduced to $1 annually until the
changes to the childhood and adolescent immunization schedule
that were announced by the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention for child and adolescent immunizations match the
recommendations by such agency for such immunizations that
were in effect in 2024, with any additional changes to the
childhood and adolescent immunization schedule occurring only
in consultation with, and with the agreement of, the American
