CDC Removes COVID-19 Vaccine from Immunization Schedule With RFK Jr.'s Help
What you need to know.
WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration announced new restrictions on COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children. The policy shift, revealed Tuesday, limits routine approvals for kids under 12.
Healthy children aged 6 months and older may no longer be recommended for annual shots. The FDA cited insufficient evidence of benefits for this group. New clinical trials are now required to prove vaccine effectiveness in healthy kids.
High-risk children, including those with medical conditions, will still have access. The agency plans to streamline approvals for these groups. Older adults over 65 also retain priority access.
The change aligns U.S. policy with countries like the UK and Canada. These nations already limit COVID-19 vaccines to high-risk groups. Critics argue the move could reduce access for parents wanting to vaccinate their kids.

Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccine expert, warned that low risk doesn’t mean no risk. He noted children can still face severe COVID-19 outcomes. Insurance coverage may also lapse for non-recommended groups, raising costs for families.
The CDC’s advisory panel will discuss these changes in June. Their recommendations could further shape the vaccine schedule. For now, parents face uncertainty about fall boosters for healthy children.

Vaccine uptake among kids remains low. Only 13% of children received the latest shot, per CDC data. Public health officials urge families to consult doctors for guidance.
No child needs this unproven and dangerous jab.
Glad the surveillance has not been readily adopted. I paid for a private course in payments over two weeks.
