CDC No Longer Recommends COVID-19 Vaccines for Healthy Children and Pregnant Women
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces removal of COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, raising concerns among health experts about public health implications.



Overview
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the CDC will no longer recommend COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women, a decision made without CDC input. This announcement, made alongside FDA and NIH leaders, contradicts ongoing public health guidance advocating for annual boosters. Critics, including health experts, express concern over the lack of clinical data supporting this change and its potential impact on vulnerable populations. The CDC's advisory panel is set to meet in June to discuss future vaccine recommendations, but Kennedy's unilateral action raises questions about vaccine access and insurance coverage.
