Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday announced the removal of the COVID-19 vaccine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's immunization schedule for "healthy children and pregnant women" -- a move that could alter guidance for doctors as well as some insurance coverage.

The CDC will no longer recommend the COVID-19 vaccine for pregnant women and healthy children. Updated COVID-19 shots will now undergo placebo-controlled clinical trials prior to FDA approval, which could limit access for healthy adults.

Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday that his agency would no longer recommend the coronavirus vaccine for healthy pregnant women and healthy children — an unprecedented move that bypasses the traditional system of vaccine advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The first report from the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again Commission, released last week, appears to be rife with errors, including some studies that don’t exist.
