CDC advisory group considers narrowing COVID vaccine recommendations

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.
