CDC officially removes COVID vaccine recommendations, suggests splitting MMRV shot
The CDC removed the COVID-19 vaccine from the routine schedule and advised separating MMR and chickenpox shots due to rare seizure risks in toddlers, ACIP said.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its immunization schedule, removing the COVID-19 vaccine and advising separate MMR and chickenpox shots instead of the combined MMRV vaccine.
- Because the panel noted a seizure risk among toddlers, CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended splitting the combined MMRV vaccine to improve safety.
- Despite the schedule change, major insurers will continue coverage through 2026, while the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 6-23 months.

- The MMRV remains an optional second dose for children around 4 to 6 years old, while about 23% of the U.S. adult population received the latest COVID-19 booster.
