CDC removes COVID vaccine recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women

The COVID-19 vaccine is no longer recommended for healthy children or pregnant women, according to new guidance from health officials.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a video on X Tuesday announcing that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed the vaccines from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for those groups.

"Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children," said Kennedy in the video, in which he appears alongside FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya.

"That ends today — it's common sense and it's good science,"  Bhattacharya added.

Makary also chimed in, noting that there's no evidence healthy kids need the COVID vaccine and that most countries have stopped recommending it for children.

"We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America healthy again," Kennedy concluded.

The CDC previously recommended that everyone aged 6 months and older get the COVID vaccine.
