You Vote: Do you agree with CDC's vote to end universal recommendation for the COVID vaccination?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccine advisory board on Friday voted unanimously to end the universal recommendation that Americans receive a COVID-19 shot, in favor of individual guidance. It is being called a big win for MAHA (Make America Healthy Again). 

The vote occurred on the second day of the panel's vaccine meeting, where they are also expected to weigh in on recommendations for the measles vaccine and Hepatitis. The panel already voted on the measles shot.

The CDC panel voted to change the universal guidance, which previously recommended the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine for most adults, but Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr still needs to sign off on the change. 

The new guidance for people aged six months to 64-years-old reads: "Vaccination based on individual-based decision-making — with an emphasis that the risk-benefit of vaccination is most favorable for individuals who are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease and lowest for individuals who are not at an increased risk, according to the CDC list of COVID-19 risk factors."
