Agencies plan to decommission hundreds of .gov websites including vaccines.cdc.gov.

https://federalnewsnetwork.com/it-modernization/2025/07/agencies-plan-to-decommission-hundreds-of-gov-websites-following-gsa-review/

. . . The Department of Health and Human Services plans to eliminate more than 7% of its websites. Among them, HHS plans to eliminate vaccines.cdc.gov, a website that tracks the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s state-by-state investments “in achieving national immunization goals and sustaining high-vaccination coverage rates to prevent death and disability” from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Documents obtained by Federal News Network state that vaccines.cdc.gov “is no longer maintained.” HHS also plans to cut 18 webpages that are part of cancer.gov, but the main site would remain.

An HHS spokesperson told Federal News Network that the inventory review is part of a broader governmentwide initiative “to streamline digital services, eliminate redundancy, and improve the user experience across federal websites.”

“HHS will continue to deliver high-quality digital health content while ensuring responsible and efficient use of taxpayer resources,” the spokesperson said.

The State Department decommissioned a website for the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs, after shuttering the office in May. The website now redirects to a site for the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. . . .

FEMA plans to decommission a website for the National Flood Insurance Program. A FEMA spokesperson said the site NFIPServices.floodsmart.gov is merging with agents.floodsmart.gov, and that traffic to NFIPServices has “historically been low.”

Don't worry - they will privatize/profitize all of it. You may be able to find what you need, at a price.

Sorry, we can't put that "fire" out. You didn't pay for the service.

We're living in Shock Doctrine land.
