Federal health officials now recommend that children be routinely inoculated against 11 diseases, not 17, citing standards in other wealthy nations.

Worth noting: those other countries have universal health care, so its possible to do decent screening for risk, and provide necessary care for the kids who do get sick. The US doesn't, so this is a decision to kill a lot of kids.
