COVID Vaccine for Healthy Children and Pregnant Women Removed from CDC Schedule
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., joined by NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, announced Tuesday that the COVID-19 vaccine will no longer be recommended on the CDC’s immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women.
The decision marks a significant shift in federal public health policy, reversing course from the Biden-Harris administration’s earlier push for widespread pediatric vaccination against COVID-19.
In a public statement, Kennedy declared, “Hi everybody. I’m Robert F. Kennedy Jr., your HHS Secretary, and I’m here today with NIH Director, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary. I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule.”

Kennedy criticized the previous administration’s push for additional COVID shots in children without robust scientific backing.
“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,” he said.
Dr. Bhattacharya added, “That ends today. It’s common sense and it’s good science.”
His remarks reflect growing concerns among health experts about the justification and long-term impact of vaccinating children with limited supporting data.
