RFK Jr. Says Pregnant Women Can Get COVID-19 Vaccine If They Choose To

The federal public health agency no longer recommends COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women.

Pregnant women can still get COVID-19 vaccines, even after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending the shots during pregnancy, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told members of Congress on June 24.

โ€œWeโ€™re not depriving anybody of choice. If a pregnant woman wants the COVID-19 vaccine, she can get it,โ€ Kennedy said. โ€œ[We are] no longer recommending it because there was no science supporting that recommendation.โ€

Kennedy announced on May 27 that the CDC would stop recommending the COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women, a change after years of the agency advising vaccination during pregnancy. The updated adult immunization schedule does not contain a recommendation for pregnant women to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, although all other adults are advised to take one.

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services told The Epoch Times in an email that health agencies โ€œencourage individuals to talk with their healthcare provider about any personal medical decision.โ€

Kennedy said on Tuesday that multiple studies have identified adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, including miscarriage.

A preprint paper recently released online concluded that in Israel, women who were vaccinated early in their pregnancy experienced more fetal losses than expected. The paperโ€™s authors include Retsef Levi, a professor who Kennedy has named to the CDCโ€™s vaccine advisory panel.

โ€œThereโ€™s no safety data for it, so weโ€™re not going to recommend it to people when we donโ€™t have safety data,โ€ Kennedy said.

Kennedy was answering Rep. Robin Kelly (D-N.Y.), who had entered into the record statements by some medical groups critical of the change.
