Kennedy Jr. is reportedly planning to announce that the Department of Health and Human Services will cease recommending routine Covid vaccines for children and pregnant individuals.

Experts warn this could undermine public health efforts, especially for vulnerable populations like pregnant individuals who face higher risks from Covid complications.
