CDC Adds COVID Vaccine to Routine Immunization Schedules for Children

In its infinite wisdom, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has added COVID-19 shots to their standard vaccination schedule for children and adults.

The CDC has updated its schedules to recommend that children aged six months to fifteen months receive a booster or main series of two-dose vaccines and that children 18 months and older receive the same vaccines.

We’ve already reported that COVID-19 is not affecting children. However, the long-term effects of vaccines remain unknown. Studies have shown that Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are more likely than COVID to cause myocarditis among young men. Research also suggests that young males who have received the second dose of the mRNA vaccine may experience myocarditis at a rate of anywhere from 1 in-5,000 to 1 in-6,000.

COVID can be deadly for children, even though some children may have health issues. Unvaccinated children are more likely to die from COVID-19 than fully vaccinated adults. The Wall Street Journal reported last summer that a variety of studies had shown that children have an “extremely low risk” of dying from COVID-19.

This is the most worrying aspect of this. Schools will have political cover to ask their students to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to be allowed to attend school. Others don’t recommend that young children be vaccinated. The benefits of COVID vaccinations for children aged 5-12 years in Sweden were rejected by health officials last year.

Despite recommending COVID vaccines the CDC admits that they are not covered under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
