Mohave County orders 30‑day review of childhood vaccination schedule
Mohave County’s Board of Supervisors has ordered a 30‑day review of the county’s childhood vaccination schedule, delaying action on a state funding agreement tied to immunizations[1a,1b]. The board voted on Oct. 19 to postpone approval of a state immunization reimbursement agreement so county health officials can re‑examine how vaccines are scheduled and report back[1b].
The review was requested after Supervisor Ron Gould raised concerns about infants receiving multiple vaccines during a single appointment, according to the Havasu News report[1a]. County staff told supervisors that the existing schedule follows established public‑health guidelines, but agreed to evaluate it and provide additional information at a later meeting[1c].
The decision temporarily pauses board approval of the reimbursement agreement but does not, based on the report, state that any specific vaccines have been added, removed or suspended while the review is underway[1d]. Families using county health clinics for childhood shots may wish to confirm with their provider whether appointment schedules or vaccine groupings have changed ahead of the board’s follow‑up vote.
