Wisconsin health officials say RFK Jr.'s recent pullback of COVID-19 vaccine advice for kids and pregnant women isn’t based on new evidence.

While COVID-19 is not at the top of the public’s mind, the CDC has said pregnant women and infants remain at high risk of complications from the disease. Vaccinating pregnant women extends the protection to their unborn child until the child is about 6 months old.

Top scientists still put pregnant women in a high-risk group who ought to get COVID boosters. Regardless of RFK Jr., the science is on the side of the shots.
