HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to remove CDC recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant women and children. Come the fall, it may just be older adults and people with comorbidities who are urged to get a COVID shot. (Wall Street Journal via MSN, New York Times)

In the coming days, the FDA plans to release a new framework for vaccine approvals that will largely focus on COVID vaccines, said Commissioner Marty Makary, MD, PhD. (Washington Post). [MedPage Today]

The World Health Organization recommended that the strains used in currently available COVID vaccines JN.1 or KP.2 -- be used again for next season's shots.

HHS is already using artificial intelligence in its operations amid Kennedy's promise to "do more with less." (Politico)
