California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington published unified recommendations on COVVI-19, Flu and RSV vaccines, which differ from those issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention American.
The governors of the States, which make up the new alliance of health of the West Coast, said in a joint press release that their alliance “worked against the aggression of the Trump administration against science”. Earlier this month, states announced the formation of the alliance In response to what he called the CDC’s “armament”, led by the Secretary of Health and Criticism of Vocal Vaccine Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy’s movements included License of 17 members of the CDC vaccine recommendations committee And Replace them with apoints that include skeptics of vaccinesAnd Backward recommendations on which should receive coated vaccines.
“Public health leaders warn these independent and science dismantling movements and inject policy into decisions that protect the health of Americans – undergoing the CDC credibility at a time when confidence and clarity are most necessary,” the Alliance said on Wednesday.
The recommendations of the West Coast Health Alliance in respiratory viruses indicate that the cocvid vaccine should be given to “all those who choose protection”, and in particular children from 6 months to 23 months old, all adults over 65, under 65 with risk factors, and any pregnant person or plan to get pregnant.
The recommendations largely reflect what the CDC previously advised until this year, when Kennedy has announced The CDC would no longer recommend the vaccine coche for children and pregnant women.
US health and social services spokesperson Andrew Nixon criticized the Alliance’s recommendations in a declaration to the Associated Press.
“The States led by Democrats have pushed the locking of non-scientific schools, the mandates of the mask for toddlers and the draconian passports of the vaccine during the cochem have completely eroded the confidence of the American people in public health agencies,” said Nixon. “The HHS will guarantee that politics is based on rigorous evidence and a science of gold standards, not on the failure of the Pandemic policy.”
The alliance has also recommended that every 6 months and more get a flu vaccine and that all babies, people aged 50 to 74 with risk factors, and everyone is 75 and over receive the RSV vaccine.
In addition, California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that he had signed a new law, AB 144, which allows the State to base future advice on vaccination on independent medical organizations rather than the CDC advisory committee on immunization practices. The law is designed to approach vaccines that health insurance companies will cover, as insurers generally cover only vaccines recommended by the ACIP.
Wednesday’s announcement by Western states comes the same day, the former CDC chief Susan Monarez told a senatorial committee that she had been dismissed by Kennedy For having refused to pre-show the guidelines for infantile vaccination, whatever the scientific data and refusing to reject the career officials responsible for the vaccine policy, without reason.
Other states, including Colorado, Illinois, MassachusettsNew Mexico and Pennsylvania have published hairstyle vaccination directives that differ from the CDC. Meanwhile, Florida this month announced that this would be the first state to eliminate all infant vaccination mandates.
