U.S. Officials To Review COVID Vaccine Safety in Pregnancy, Kids
Federal officials are reviewing COVID vaccine safety data involving pregnancy, children, and older adults to ensure guidance reflects latest evidence on risks and benefits.
- Government health agencies are examining reports related to the safety of COVID-19 vaccinations in expectant mothers and young populations as they prepare for the CDC's vaccine advisory meeting on September 18 and 19, 2025.
- This review was prompted by federal health officials examining safety data related to COVID-19 vaccines administered during pregnancy and deaths among children, which could lead to updates in vaccination guidelines.
- Large studies from federal registries including over 23,000 pregnant women found no increased risk of birth defects, miscarriage, or other complications after vaccination.
- FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary indicated that the agency intends to make all safety information accessible, while experts emphasized that VAERS serves to identify potential safety signals rather than confirm vaccine-related issues.
- Officials may reconsider vaccine recommendations for older adults, potentially raising the age to 75 and older or limiting shots to high-risk groups based on the ongoing review.
