The Covid-19 vaccine remains on the CDC's revised schedule of childhood vaccinations despite HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s announcement.

The Food and Drug Administration says it has decided to continue approving COVID-19 vaccine updates for seniors and others at higher risk of severe disease, but will require vaccine makers to conduct major new clinical trials before approving them for wider use.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its immunization schedule for children, days after US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that Covid-19 vaccines would be struck from the list of recommended shots for healthy children and pregnant women.

While RFK Jr. said the coronavirus vaccine would be removed from the CDC schedule for healthy children, it’s still recommended in consultation with doctors.

The FDA approved Novavax’s COVID vaccine Nuvaxovid this month, limiting its use to older adults and people over the age of 12 with conditions that put them at risk due to the illness.

The US Department of Health and Human Services, under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has recently made significant changes to how Covid-19 vaccines are approved and the groups they are recommended for.

In the wake of recent warnings from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), about half of Americans think vaccines against the COVID-19 virus may have caused heart problems for some patients.
