In a 58-second video posted on the social media site X, Kennedy said he removed COVID-19 shots from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations for those groups. No one from the CDC was in the video, and CDC officials referred questions about the announcement to Kennedy and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
U.S. health officials, following recommendations by infectious disease experts, have been urging annual COVID-19 boosters for all Americans ages 6 months and older.
A CDC advisory panel is set to meets in June to make recommendations about the fall shots. Among its options are suggesting shots for high-risk groups but still giving lower-risk people the choice to get vaccinated.
Mm… he’s an antivax loon but I’d like to remind people that other respected organizations (e.g. WHO) don’t recommend it for healthy children who have had at least one dose. I’m not sure about 2025, but that was the guideline at least back in 2024.
Pregnant women are suggested to have at least a booster, once per pregnancy, though. At least, according to WHO.
That’s actually true:
