I wonder if this is an artifact of the Republican budget. I can easily see a line item like this missed by Democrats but a key part of vaccine skeptics like republicans.
The article links it to the debt ceiling deal without more details:
Agency officials linked the reduction to the debt ceiling deal recently struck by the Biden administration and Congress. The cut may result in less complete reporting on vaccinations, the CDC said. The debt deal rescinded about $27 billion in unspent federal money that had been allocated to fight covid. It also led the CDC to remove $400 million in funding to states for workers who fight the spread of sexually transmitted infections, according to an email obtained by CQ Roll Call.
