Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Coronavirus disease.

"I'm not happy to announce that as of today, the CDC's recommended immunization schedule has been removed from the CDC's healthy children and healthy pregnant women vaccines," Kennedy said in a video on his post.

However, so far, the CDC has not updated its immunization schedule to date to reflect the removal announced by Kennedy.

The move announced Tuesday by Kennedy on Tuesday seemed to be effective in quickening the process established by the agency’s external consultants to discuss and change the CDC’s influential vaccination guide, which is directly related to what insurance companies need to cover and protect liability.

These consultants are already weighing whether and how to narrow the organization COVID-19 vaccine recommendations For older people and others who only have underlying conditions, this puts them at risk of suffering from more severe illness from Covid-19.

Kennedy's announcement is also further than the announcement of the advisory group, including pregnant women Their risk increases Severe illness and it can also help provide some facts Protect newborns.

It is unclear why Kennedy chose to announce the decision without waiting for the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice to complete its consideration. panel Expected The issue was voted on at the June meeting hosted by the Agency.

"With the shared 19-year-old pandemic behind us, it's time to move forward. HHS and CDC remain committed to gold standard science and ensure the health and well-being of all Americans who use common sense, especially children in our country," Vianca N. Rodriguez Feliciano, spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, said in an email.

Kennedy also delayed other overdue recommendations for respiratory syncytial virus or RSV, vaccines and meningococcal vaccines.

The committee voted for the latest recommendations for the vaccines in April. Typically, the CDC supervisor approves the recommendation. However, Kennedy’s decision to adopt the new guideline is up to Kennedy, as the Trump administration has not appointed acting CDC directors to replace Susan Monarezin addition to the nomination process as director of the CDC, she held the position in addition to the position.

Kennedy greened the April meeting’s recommendations, an update to limit the use of the chikungunya vaccine associated with potentially serious side effects.

HHS has not answered a request for comment on why other suggestions are postponed.

Can you still receive a co-vaccination for your child or when you are pregnant?

While the Covid-19-19 vaccine is still available, experts say that once Kennedy’s changes are formal, it may become increasingly difficult during pregnancy.

The CDC’s immune guidelines are closely watched by health experts as it is the basis of legal requirements for vaccine health insurance programs to cover without sharing costs.

Deleting the CDC’s advice on routine vaccination for children and pregnant women may mean that these patients may have to start paying for some or all of the costs of COVID-19.

The CDC’s vaccine recommendations also manage opportunities for shooting through the federal Children’s Vaccine Program, which provides 1,900 vaccines for uninsured children. The guidance of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicaid and Child Health Insurance Programs, requires vaccination to children and vaccination during pregnancy, is also related to the CDC's recommendations.

According to the CDC’s price list, the private sector price tag for Covid-19 vaccines starts at $57.50 per dose and the adult vaccine is $136.75.

Another way to remove the suggested approach could narrow the availability of the shot, which is to expand the chances of children shooting in places like pharmacies through responsibility protection for strategic preparation and responses issued during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A spokesperson for CDC, ASPR and CMS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“This will gradually close the door for pharmacists to administer Covid-19 vaccines to children and pregnant women in pharmacies. And, we know that throughout the pandemic and over the past few years, pharmacies have been the primary location for many to receive vaccines,” said Richard Dang, assistant professor of clinical pharmacy at the University of Southern California.

Dang represents the American Pharmacists Association to the CDC's vaccine consultant on the COVID-19 task force. He previously led the COVID-19 Covid-19 vaccination program in Los Angeles.

Although Dan said there are other ways in which states can allow pharmacists to continue to administer Covid-19 vaccines to children and pregnant women, he warned that the vaccines are challenging and unlikely to solve the problem by changing the coverage of the lens caused by the change.

"Even if pharmacies are allowed to manage vaccines through agreements or collaborative practice agreements, they may have to pay cash for them," Dang said.

Why is the Covid-19-19 vaccine recommended during pregnancy?

The move also left Kennedy in conflict with new FDA officials, who recently said pregnancy is one of the potential conditions for the need to continue eligibility for the Covid-19-19-19-19-19-19 vaccine approval.

"This is a cost-effective preventive strategy, and when ACIP provides general advice, it is easy to gain access. This is a very important mechanism to protect our moms and babies."

Like Dan, Joseph is also a member of the Covid-19 task force for the CDC vaccine consultant. Joseph represents the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

A statement issued by the OB-GYN organization on Tuesday was frustrated by Kennedy's actions, warning that Covid infections during pregnancy were "possibly disastrous" to families and that "science has not changed."

Joseph said the data still suggests that pregnant women are at an increased risk of suffering from severe illness from Covid-19 and are more likely to be hospitalized. She also said there is no other way for newborns to be protected from the virus besides the mother’s vaccination.

"Babies are the second largest group of people we are hospitalized. When we investigate these risks, it is actually their natural mothers who have not received the updated Covid-19-19-naction vaccine yet," Joseph said.

A HHS spokesman did not respond to a request for comment when asked why Kennedy excluded pregnant mothers from getting the Covid-19-19-19 vaccine.
