US EditionIs FDA about to restrict vaccination even further?
FDA review linked 10 child deaths to COVID vaccines, prompting proposals for stricter testing and approval rules including subgroup studies and flu-shot policy revisions.
- On Friday, Dr. Vinay Prasad, FDA's CBER director, sent a memo alleging 10 of 96 child deaths reported to VAERS were related to COVID vaccines, prompting FDA review.
- Prasad's memo proposes requiring vaccine makers to study new shots in all subgroups including pregnant people and re-examining annual flu shot approval plus limits on combination vaccines, which experts say would raise costs and slow childhood vaccine access.
- The findings have not been peer-reviewed, and the memo cited 96 VAERS death reports without ages or vaccine details; the FDA's summer restrictions limited vaccines to those over 65 or high-risk, while mRNA-based COVID vaccines gained stronger warnings and the CDC changed wording last month.
- The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is meeting later this week as experts warn adopting proposals would raise costs, delay childhood vaccinations, and complicate care.
- The developments signal a vaccine-sceptic shift under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with Prasad urging dissenters to resign and public-health experts citing extensive testing and resolved myocarditis cases.
