CDC Expands RSV Vaccine for Adults 50+
Reading
The USA government may give RSV shots to more adults. They might start at age 50, instead of age 60. This idea came from advisors who were recently let go.
This change seems to be on a website for the CDC. But it is not yet on the official schedule. The schedule is for adults getting shots.
RSV is a virus that feels like a cold for most people. But it can be very bad for babies and old people. The CDC says some pregnant women and people over 75 should get a shot.
In April, a CDC group said some adults aged 50-59 should get it. These adults should have some health problems. But the CDC did not have a leader to decide on this idea.
Last month, the government fired the 17 people in the CDC group. They chose 7 new people, including some who don't trust vaccines. The new group changed COVID shot advice without asking the other group.
