US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired two of his top aides in a leadership shakeup at the health department. Kennedy dismissed chief of staff Heather Flick Melanson and deputy chief of staff for policy Hannah Anderson after losing confidence in them. The department's White House liaison, Matt Buckham, will serve as acting chief of staff. Kennedy has not yet chosen permanent replacements for the ousted aides.
The shakeup comes as the department faces scrutiny over vaccine policies and health priorities. Flick, with experience in Washington, served at HHS during President Trump's term. Anderson, a former GOP staffer, joined HHS from a think tank aligned with Trump. Kennedy now needs to fill key positions at HHS early in his tenure.
