Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that he would remove the CDC 's recommendation for healthy children and healthy pregnant women to get vaccinated for COVID-19 .

Kennedy 's move appears to effectively shortcut a process set up by the agency's outside advisers to discuss and make changes to its vaccination guidance.

The CDC had so far not updated the immunization schedule to reflect the removal announced by Kennedy .
