Democratic lawmaker pushes Kennedy on vaccines for pregnant women
Source: NBC News
Rep. Robin Kelly, D-Ill., read a portion of guidance issued in May from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that emphasized the importance of pregnant women getting vaccinated for Covid.
"A growing body of evidence on the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination indicates that the benefits of vaccination outweigh any potential risks of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy," read the guidance on the CDC's website. Kennedy said during testimony that he had not seen the website.
The secretary went to to say that he does not recommend the vaccine for pregnant women, contradicting the earlier guidance, although he added that HHS consults the CDC on every vaccine policy.
Earlier, Kennedy claimed that pregnant women were at risk of experiencing adverse effects from vaccines, despite objections from doctors.
"Not true," Kelly said. "We have a pediatrician that is on this committee. Not true."
