“Next year’s COVID vaccine recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention appear likely to be less expansive than in previous years. Notes from a recent meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ COVID-19 Work Group show health officials are considering narrowing the recommended age range for universal vaccination from everyone over 6 months to those 65 and older and people with health complications for the next respiratory virus season. A majority of the working group’s members indicated they will vote to endorse such a risk-based recommendation, rather than the current universal recommendation. Some doctors are praising the possible move, while others have reservations about the shift.” (04/21/25)
