[quote=Anonymous]Q&A on why US is an outlier in making all-age covid booster recommendations: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2024-02-28/why-the-u-s-is-an-outlier-on-covid-boosters-for-kids “CHOP's Offit: The goal of this vaccine is to prevent serious illness. That’s the goal. So the question then becomes: Who is getting seriously ill? That generally falls into four groups: the elderly, those who have high-risk medical conditions, people who are pregnant or people who are immunocompromised, and that’s why those countries make those recommendations. I think that the reason the U.S. broadly recommends boosters for children is because we think that a nuanced recommendation – meaning targeting high-risk groups – is a garbled recommendation, and the best way to get those high-risk groups vaccinated is to recommend the vaccine for everyone.”[/quote]
