小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪出任美国卫生与公共服务部部长的提名获得参议院确认，意味着美国卫生政策开启新时代。此前，一度曾角逐总统之位的的肯尼迪公开质疑被广泛应用的疫苗的安全性，承诺在美国食品供应中去除人工食用色素。

　　肯尼迪的提名获批基本按党派路线，投票结果为52对48，此前他在气氛紧张的听证会上被问及他拆除美国疫苗基础设施的可能性以及他在堕胎政策上的转变。

　　前参议院多数党领袖、来自肯塔基州的Mitch McConnell是唯一投反对票的共和党人。

　　肯尼迪将影响食品药品管理局（FDA）和疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）。FDA决定是否批准尖端医疗疗法。CDC为疫苗使用和公共卫生提供建议。

　　卫生与公众服务部还控制着老年人和低收入公民的联邦保险计划，广泛影响着美国人的日常生活和健康。
