💨 Abstract

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that COVID-19 vaccines are no longer recommended for healthy children and pregnant women. This decision, made without CDC input, contradicts previous recommendations for annual boosters for all Americans aged 6 months and older. Kennedy cited a lack of clinical data supporting booster shots for kids. The FDA and NIH heads supported the decision, which follows recent Trump administration efforts to narrow vaccine recommendations.
