How Shifting Vaccine Policy Could Affect CA
HHS Secretary Kennedy's revised COVID vaccine guidance excludes healthy children and pregnant people, contributing to declining vaccination rates and increased public confusion, experts say.
- Earlier this year, the CDC shifted COVID vaccine guidance, removing recommendations for healthy children aged 6 months through 17 years old and healthy pregnant people, according to CDC updates.
- Amid calls for uniform guidance, the FDA’s approval of Spikevax limits its use to certain groups, contrasting with Comirnaty’s broader authorization for all 6 months and older.
- Amid declining vaccination rates, California kindergarteners' coverage dropped to 95.96 percent, with MMR rates falling to 92.5 percent, CDC data show.
- This year, about half of parents say they’re unsure if federal agencies recommend a COVID vaccine for healthy children, risking coverage denial by private health plans.
- Amid continued declines, public health experts caution that fewer vaccination sites and lower coverage could increase outbreak risks and hinder COVID vaccination efforts.
