US vaccine panel no longer recommends Covid-19 jab to adults

A US vaccine panel has voted to stop recommending the Covid-19 vaccine for all adults, changing a previous routine recommendation since the pandemic began. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (Acip) also voted against prescribing the Covid vaccine, shifting towards encouraging individuals to make their own decisions after consulting with a medical professional. Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr's controversial replacement of all 17 committee members with his own appointees in June has sparked concerns in the medical community amidst evolving vaccine recommendations and debates.
