HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced that “the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule.”
This does NOT mean that children cannot be mandated to take the Covid vaccine. Each state sets its own vaccine schedule and can mandate the Covid vaccines.
Last year, this peer-reviewed study called for the halt on mRNA vaccines in childhood vaccine schedules due to lack of safety standards.
The most recent covid vaccine was not tested on children under 12. It was authorized in 2023 for young children based on extrapolated data, not clinical trials conducted directly in that age group.
This comes as a new strain of Covid has been detected in the U.S. It is being called “highly infectious” but the WHO reports that the “severity” is “low.”
