The advisory committee on vaccines for the CDC- centers for disease control and prevention has approved adding COVID-19 vaccines to their recommended immunization schedules for both children and adults.
In fact, they voted unanimously to add the vaccines to the schedules, which contain recommendations to physicians on which shots their patients should receive and when.
Several committee members stressed that they were not setting a *requirement* for anyone to receive the shots- right now, it’s just a recommendation. However, some parents and doctors who are against COVID vaccine mandates have expressed concerns that adding the shots to the US CDC schedule will encourage state regulators to require them for public school attendance.
