The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's outside panel of vaccine experts on Tuesday discussed narrowing recommendations on the use of COVID-19 booster shots for the upcoming immunization campaign in its first meeting under the new Trump administration.
The panel raised the idea of recommending the updated vaccine only for vulnerable populations at risk of severe COVID-19 for the 2025-2026 season. While most panel members were not opposed, they voiced concerns around the difficulties of implementing the approach.
