Most adults do not plan on getting COVID-19 shot amid vaccine policy changes

UNITED STATES, JUL 31 – FDA grants full approval to Moderna's Spikevax for children 6 months to 11 years at high risk, narrowing eligibility from the vaccine's original proposal, officials confirmed.

  • On July 9, 2025, FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research approved Moderna’s Spikevax for children 6 months to 11 years with at least one underlying condition, with a narrower label than initial proposals.
  • Amid rising Covid-19 transmission in the United States, Kennedy announced that the CDC will not formally recommend vaccines for healthy children, leaving decisions to parents and providers.
  • A new KFF poll found about a quarter of US adults say Kennedy has made `major` changes to vaccine policy, and 40% don’t know enough to say, while only 37% trust him at least `a fair amount`.
  • About half of parents are unsure if federal health agencies recommend Covid-19 vaccination for healthy children this fall, and only 5 believe policy changes make people safer.
  • To guard against the summer wave, experts recommend getting the current shot now before the new formulation arrives closer to autumn, as Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo warns vaccines may not be available in time to protect high-risk people.
