CDC shifts COVID-19 vaccine guidance

Jun 3, 2025

The CDC has revised its COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women. 

Why it matters: This change increases the possibility of COVID-19 infection for school-aged children, as well as immunocompromised members of their household.

  • Parents are advised to consult with their doctors before deciding on vaccinations for their children aged 6 months to 17 years. 

What's new: The change comes after HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that COVID-19 vaccines will no longer be universally recommended for healthy children and pregnant women.
