Covid Shot Recs Revoked for Kids, Pregnancy |
|
HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. announced that Covid vaccines are no longer recommended for children and during pregnancy, despite the FDA commissioner’s recent NEJM editorial including pregnancy as a high-risk condition warranting vaccination.

The AAP provided a statement by Sean O’Leary noting “the decision could strip families of choice” and “the safety of the Covid vaccine has been widely demonstrated.” |

The question now: will legislators who supported the bill to protect children’s health now follow the science? |
