  "summary": "The US health department is seeking public feedback on changes to vaccine guidelines. The department wants to know if some vaccines should have age limits or qualifications.\n\nThe current vaccine recommendation categories are routine, risk-based, and shared clinical decision-making. The health department is asking for comments on whether these categories are sufficient or if additional ones are needed.\n\nExperts, including Dorit Reiss, a vaccine law expert and professor at UC Law San Francisco, have expressed mixed views on the move. While Reiss thinks asking for public comments is \"appropriate and right\", she also finds the notice unusual, as such categorization is typically handled by experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or its advisory committee, according to The Guardian US and Guardian Health.",
