Another US doctors’ group breaks with federal policy, recommends COVID-19 vaccines for all adults

Reuters The American Academy of Family Physicians said on Monday that it recommends all adults over the age of 18, children and pregnant women to receive COVID-19 vaccines, a contrast to the U.S. government’s narrowed approvals for the shots.

Its suggested immunizations for COVID are in line with the pediatric physician’s group, The American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations from last month. They contrast with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration which two weeks ago approved the updated vaccines for people with health conditions and all people aged 65 and older.
