While no final decision has apparently been made, two unnamed officials and a Health and Human Services spokesperson have reportedly confirmed that the plan to pull the recommendation is under discussion. If enacted, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would officially cease recommending that COVID-19 vaccines should be given to American children. Eliminating the shots from the country’s vaccine schedule wouldn’t mean that children couldn’t get them, but it would significantly influence vaccination procedures and use across the United States.
This news comes following Kennedy recently pausing a $200 million Biden-era contract to develop a new orally administered COVID-19 vaccine. The contract was part of a $5 billion Biden administration initiative aimed at developing new vaccine technologies. Kennedy cited safety concerns and what he called “failed oversight” from the Biden administration as reasons for the pause, emphasizing the need for a thorough review before proceeding with clinical trials involving 10,000 participants.
