Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently announced a change in the recommended guidelines for COVID-19 vaccinations. He stated that healthy children and pregnant individuals are no longer advised to receive COVID-19 vaccines. This announcement has led to questions from both clinicians and patients regarding the continued availability of these vaccines and the extent of insurance coverage for those who choose to receive them.
NPR’s Ari Shapiro engaged in a discussion with Dr. Peter Hotez, co-director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, to explore the implications of the CDC’s new guidelines. The conversation focused on whether these changes might create barriers for individuals seeking vaccinations.
