The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pulled back a public health campaign promoting the flu vaccine as cases of the flu have surged in recent weeks.

The campaign’s end comes days after the Senate confirmed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime skeptic of vaccines who has spread conspiracies about them.
