The CDC may soon recommend fewer COVID-19 vaccines for most people starting in the 2025–2026 season — and that’s something every family should know about.

✅ 1- A More Targeted Approach to COVID-19 Vaccines

Instead of recommending the COVID-19 shot for everyone over 6 months, the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee is considering a risk-based approach — meaning the vaccine would be mainly recommended for:

  • 👵 Older adults (especially 65+)

  • 🤰 Pregnant people

  • ❤️‍🩹 Those with existing health conditions

  • 🩺 Healthcare and high-contact workers

This change could help simplify decisions for families while focusing protection on those who need it most.

🧠 2- Why This Matters for You and Your Family

This isn’t about taking something away — it’s about using what we’ve learned to adjust. Experts are looking at:

  • Who really benefits the most from yearly shots

  • How much immunity people already have

  • What’s practical and cost-effective

👉 If you're in a high-risk group (or care for someone who is), staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines will still be important.
