The CDC will no longer recommend routine Covid vaccinations for healthy children and pregnant women, as announced by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This decision follows the FDA’s plan to restrict Covid shot usage to older adults and those with underlying health conditions, raising concerns among health experts about the implications for vulnerable populations, particularly pregnant women, who are at higher risk for severe Covid complications. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists expressed disappointment over the announcement, emphasizing the ongoing dangers of Covid during pregnancy.
