. . . 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 Preventions 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Documents obtained by Federal News Network state that vaccines.cdc.gov is no longer maintained.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.
