- The CDC continues to recommend COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children, contradicting claims by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Recent vaccine guidelines were issued without a vote from the CDC’s advisory committee, which usually participates in such decisions.
- CDC estimates show nearly 1,900 children under 18 in the U.S. died from COVID-19 as of 2023, emphasizing vaccine relevance.
- The FDA intends to require new clinical trials for annual COVID boosters in healthy individuals under 65, focusing on older and at-risk groups.
Stopping the recommendation 'does the opposite of what Americans have been asking for when it comes to their health — it takes away choices and will negatively impact them.'— Infectious Diseases Society of America on the implications of withdrawing the COVID-19 vaccine recommendation.
