ATLANTA, GA — The COVID-19 vaccine is no longer being recommended by the CDC for pregnant women and healthy children.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made the announcement in a video posted on X today.
Previously, the CDC had recommended the vaccine for everyone six months and older.
This comes after the FDA announced last week that new COVID-19 shots would no longer be routinely approved for healthy children and adults.
There isn’t a COVID shot mandate for anyone in the U.S.
