CDC Committee Could Likely Add COVID Shots to Childhood Vaccination Schedule
“There has never been a vaccine added to the child immunization schedule without solid clinical evidence that it reduces disease significantly in the community. The COVID vaccine in children will be the first added with no clinical data"
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A Center for Disease Control Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meets today and will likely vote on Thursday to add the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID shots to the child and adolescent immunization schedules for children who attend public schools.
By adding the COVID shots to the childhood schedule, the committee will transfer liability for vaccine injuries to the federal government’s National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This delivers permanent legal protection to Pfizer and Moderna by allowing them to bring an FDA-approved shot to the market without facing lawsuits and bring in billions of dollars in revenues for the drug companies.
