The newly formed West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA) has issued its first vaccine recommendations ahead of the winter virus season.

The alliance, which includes Washington, California, Oregon, and Hawaii, claimed its decision comes in response to what state leaders describe as the federal government’s politicization of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“Vaccines protect more than just ourselves — they help safeguard our families, neighbors, and communities,” said Washington State Secretary of Health Dennis Worsham. “By staying up to date, Washingtonians can reduce the spread of illness and keep our state strong this season.”
