Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday announced the removal of the COVID-19 vaccine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's immunization schedule for "healthy children and pregnant women" -- a move that could alter guidance for doctors as well as some insurance coverage.
Kennedy's move appears to shortcut the CDC's outside vaccine advisers, dropping COVID vaccines from the list recommended for children and pregnant women.
RFK Jr. and other public health officials announced the COVID vaccine won't be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women.
