RFK Jr. Ends COVID Vaccine Urging for Healthy Kids, Pregnant Women

WEDNESDAY, May 28, 2025 (HealthDay News) — The top U.S. health agency will no longer recommend the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children and pregnant women.

Tuesday's announcement by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. bypasses the typical vaccine recommendation process, which includes review by experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The Washington Post said.

Kennedy, who has long questioned vaccine safety, shared the news in a 58-second video posted on X.
