Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the removal of the COVID vaccine from CDC's recommended immunization schedule for healthy pregnant women. However, both the CDC and health experts emphasize that pregnant women remain a high-risk group for severe illness from COVID-19. Studies show that pregnant individuals face greater risks, including hospitalization and ICU admissions, when infected with the virus, highlighting the ongoing debate between political announcements and scientific data regarding vaccination.
"No matter what the politics say, the science is the science, and we know that objectively, pregnant patients are at substantially increased risk of having complications."
"Pregnant women who contracted COVID were more likely to become severely ill and to be hospitalized than women of the same age and demographics who weren't pregnant."
