💨 Abstract

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its guidelines, suggesting that parents may choose to have healthy children vaccinated against COVID-19 after consulting with a doctor. This change contrasts with a recent announcement by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that vaccines would no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women. The CDC's updated guidance has been criticized by medical experts, who believe it may reduce vaccination rates.
