In a recent video, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced a controversial change in CDC policy, stating that COVID-19 vaccinations would no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women. This statement contradicted previous guidelines enforced by expert panels and raised alarm among relevant health organizations. Following his announcement, the CDC issued updates that attempted to walk a tightrope between upholding vaccination support and complying with Kennedy's directive, indicating a confused position that neither fully endorsed nor rejected vaccinations for these populations.
Kennedy's announcement marked a significant departure from decades of C.D.C. vaccination policy, raising concerns among pediatric and obstetrics organizations about the safety of COVID-19 vaccination for healthy children and pregnant women.
Kennedy stated he was "pleased" with the new direction, asserting that healthy children and pregnant women should no longer be recommended for COVID-19 vaccinations, igniting controversy among health professionals.
