US halts COVID vaccine endorsement for children amid confusion and controversy
UW doctors, including Dr. Linda Eckert, criticize the federal government's decision to not recommend COVID vaccination for pregnant women, emphasizing the increased risks of severe illness and the benefits of maternal vaccination in protecting both mothers and infants. They express concern that policy changes could reduce vaccine coverage and access, especially for vulnerable populations like pregnant women and infants. RFK Jr.'s recent statements about removing CDC recommendations for pregnant women and children are also highlighted.
