The World Health Organization’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization has decided “healthy children and adolescents” don’t need Covid-19 vaccines and boosters after all.
Recurring boosters beyond the first boosters are also not recommended as a default for the “medium risk group” of healthy adults under 60 and children and adolescents with co-morbidities, according to an official highlights paper that summarizes findings from the group’s March meeting.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends Covid shots for everyone, including babies six months and older. The State of Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer Anne Zink still advises that babies get the Covid-19 vaccine as soon as they are eligible.
