Advisers to the CDC to suggest ‘narrow’ use of COVID-19 vaccine, departing from universal recommendations

The Consulting Committee will meet the CDC vaccine (CDC) on Tuesday for a two-day session to develop new recommendations, including a proposal to expand the scope of the current COVID-19 vaccine guidelines.
It is expected that Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos from the Disease Control Center for the use of the Covid-19 vaccine in 2025-2026 suggests that the administration adopt a “narrow recommendation”, and to maintain this series only for some of the population within these groups that we define must be vaccinated. “
When polling on April 3, the majority of advisers-76 %-expressed their support for the recommendation of risk-based vaccination, not globally, on the 2025-2026 table, an increase of 10 % of the February poll.

The 70-page presentation specifies three potential policy options for Covid-19, including the shift from recommending the annual shots for all who are over 6 months old.
Currently, it is recommended to use the annual Covid-19 shots for 6 months and over. One of the proposed policy options will continue the current global policy, while another recommends vaccines only for people at risk of severe diseases, such as older adults, and those who suffer from basic health conditions, pregnant women and health care workers.
The third option would mix between the two, while preserving global recommendations for people 65 and above, but reducing shots for younger groups for those who want a higher danger.
“When it was initially presented with the COVID-19 2025-2026 policy options in November 2024, the working group estimated the pros and cons of risk and global vaccine recommendations. “At that time, there was no consensus yet on what should be a recommendation for the Covid-19 2025-2026 vaccine. The working group requested additional information to help inform the decision-making process on the risk factors for severe Covid-19, transmission and immunity, implement vaccines and access them, and cost effectiveness.”

The presentation will also suggest how to determine the “risk increase”, given both health factors and increase exposure, such as living in long -term care facilities or working in high -connection functions.
The two -day meeting of the Consultative Committee for Immunization Observations will examine information for members to vote as official recommendations, which will then be transferred to the Disease Control Center for consideration in June.
The end of the presentation will include questions about the positives and negatives of the recommendation of the risk-based Covid-1925 vaccine. The main discussion points include whether any groups of vaccination should be excluded, what data needed to direct decisions, and whether it makes sense to consider most people already “at risk.”
The size of the HHS size begins in the center of RFK JR. “Make America healthy again.”

According to the Center for Disease Control, the Agency for the Checks Committee will also include a session on the outbreak of measles and update “on literature related to reducing the number of doses of the HPV vaccine.”

On Wednesday, the committee members will vote on the recommendations of meningococcus vaccines, VFC, RSV, and Chikungunya vaccines.
This meeting comes at the time of the Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services Robert F. Kennedy Junior to reorganize the senior center. Plans include transmitting non -infectious diseases related to management to the proper America to focus on managing chronic diseases. This step follows the size of reducing its size dramatically in light of president Donald Trump, who has already reduced the workforce at the Center for Disease Control by about 4000.
