HHS Secretary RFK Jr Announces Withdrawal of COVID-19 Vaccination from CDC Schedule for Healthy Kids and Pregnant Women

Finally.  Many people have been waiting for the COVID-19 vaccination to be withdrawn from the CDC recommendations.  Today, a step in the right direction as HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr announces the removal of the vaccine from the schedule for healthy kids and pregnant women.

(Reuters) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stopped recommending routine COVID-19 vaccinations for pregnant women and healthy children, U.S. health regulators said on Tuesday.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a video posted on social media platform X that the vaccines have been removed from the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule for those groups.

Kennedy, a long-time vaccine skeptic whose department oversees the CDC, has been remaking the U.S. health system to align with President Donald Trump’s goal of dramatically shrinking the federal government.

“We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS’s promise to Make America Healthy Again,” Kennedy said.

The CDC had previously recommended updated COVID vaccines for everyone aged six months and older. (more)
