Covid -vaccines are no longer routinely recommended for pregnant women, teenagers and children in the US, suggesting reports.
Robert F Kennedy JR’s Department of Health and Human Services is expected to delete the recommendation of the CDC for those groups in the coming days – Sources told the Wall Street Journal.
DailyMail.com revealed in February how different members of the government of Trump insist on stricter restrictions on the Covid vaccine.
The CDC currently recommends that everyone receives the Covid vaccine six months and older, including pregnant women.
But the recommendation for young and healthy people has long been criticized, since the groups run a low risk of hospitalization and death by the virus.
There are concerns about side effects related to the shots, including myocarditis or heart infection that rare, but a little more often in young adults.
There have also been worries that pregnant women do not benefit from the vaccine, although studies show that it is safe for the group and their risk of miscarriage, stillbirth or birth defects does not increase.
It was not immediately clear whether the recommendation for those groups to get the COVID vaccine would be fully removed or updated to say that patients should consult their doctors.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services has been set to stop recommending COVID vaccines for certain groups, suggest reports
RFK JR has long focused on Covid -vaccines and has submitted a petition to the FDA in 2021 – six months after the rollout started – to suspend the use of their use.
His circle also includes a number of individuals who have been critical of the shots.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who has been nominated to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has previously supported a petition in which it is called to pause and re -test the MRNA vaccines.
While Dr. ASEEM MALHOLTRA, a British cardiologist named after an important role of health advice in the Trump administration, has called on the vaccines to be suspended and reassessed.
The new FDA Commissioner, Dr. Marty Makary, has said that he does not encourage young, healthy children to get a Covid shot unless there is new evidence that comes to the fore that suggests that there is a clear advantage. “
Dailymail.com has contacted the HHS for comments.
As HH -Secretary, RFK JR has the legal power to change the vaccine recommendations of the CDC.
In a fiery exchange in the Senate yesterday, he insisted that Americans had lost confidence in federal vaccing management – and accused officials of lying about vaccines for ‘year after year’.
In addition to reported changes in vaccine recommendations, the FDA is also planning to roll out a new framework for vaccine inspections next week.
Dr. Makary unveiled the plan last week at a meeting room of food and drug lawyers. He did not give any details, but suggested that it could be possible to possibly involve vaccine manufacturers who submit more data to the FDA.
Covid vaccination rates are low in the US, with just over 20 percent of adults older than 18 years old receiving the updated COVID vaccines
The US is an out of the recommendations of Covid -vaccine, where other countries – including the UK – now only recommend the shots to seniors aged 75 and older, people in care homes and people with a weakened immune system.
Pregnant women were also recommended for the COVID vaccine in the UK, but this was fallen this year after studies had not shown clear cost benefits.
The World Health Organization recommends everyone on and over and pregnant women receive one dose of the Covid vaccine.
COVID vaccins have proved to be safe and effective in reducing the risk of hospitalization and death, especially in older adults who have a weaker immune system.
However, some medical experts have questioned the routine use of the vaccine in healthy young people, and note that their risk of serious virus illness is already very low.
Most people in the US currently do not receive a Covid vaccine.
The last data shows that since the start of this year’s flu season, only 23 percent of adults aged 18 and older received the updated COVID vaccine. Among people under the age of 18, 13 percent received the updated shot.
At the same time, the absorption of other vaccinations – including measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) shot – has fallen in the US, which, according to experts, is behind the large outbreak who now risks the country that the country loses the status of measles.
During his first term, President Donald Trump led the development of the Covid shots in record time, which was generally considered an important medical breakthrough.
The MRNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna will have saved tens of millions of lives worldwide, including at least 3 million in the US.
Reports suggest that the US is considering rolling back its Covid vaccine recommendations for young adults and pregnant women
But in recent years, Trump has been cautious to get the honor of the performance, for fear of alienating its core base, who has become skeptical about the shots.
However, he has indicated his support for other vaccines, including the polio vaccine – which he praised as the ‘biggest thing’ and said he was a ‘great believer’.
The COVID vaccines are linked to a small risk of heart damage and the Guillain-Barre syndrome, where the immune system attacks nerves, causing pain, fatigue and numbness.
Data from the American COVID vaccine compensation program suggested that 14,000 people had filed claims for injury or death that they say they were caused by the COVID vaccine from December 2024, of the 270 million Americans who received at least one dose of the vaccine.
