(The Center Square) – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has removed mRNA COVID-19 vaccines from children and pregnant women’s recommended immunization schedules, reversing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s blanket recommendation that every American over the age of six months receive a booster shot annually.

“As of today, the Covid vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC immunization schedule,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a video announcement Tuesday. “Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another Covid shot, despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children.”
