US Health and Welfare Welfare F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that the Covid-19 vaccine will no longer be one of the recommended vaccines for pregnant women and healthy children on the US disease control and prevention vaccination schedule.
The vaccination schedule posted online had not yet changed as of Tuesday morning.
Kennedy has announced changes to the videos posted to social media platform X. He was adjacent to Dr. Marty McCurry, Director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and Dr. Jaybatacharya, Director of the National Institutes of Health.
“As of today, the Covid vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been excluded from the CDC recommended vaccination schedule.” “Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another Covid shot despite the lack of clinical data to support their children’s repetitive booster strategies.”
Pregnant women and children in a fundamental condition are at increased risk of severe illness from Covid-19.
The recommendation shift is among other changes to the Covid-19 vaccine policy. The FDA said last week it was overhauling how it would approve the Covid-19 vaccine.
