Covid-19 vaccine
US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday, May 27 announced that COVID-19 vaccines are no longer recommended for healthy children and pregnant women—a move immediately questioned by several public health experts. In a 58-second video posted on the social media site X, Kennedy said he removed COVID-19 shots from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations for those groups. No one from the CDC was in the video, and CDC officials referred questions about the announcement to Kennedy and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
According to medical experts in India, the symptoms are similar to cold or flu symptoms.
