Pregnant women can still get COVID-19 vaccines, even after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending the shots during pregnancy, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told members of Congress on June 24.

“We’re not depriving anybody of choice. If a pregnant woman wants the COVID-19 vaccine, she can get it,” Kennedy said. “[We are] no longer recommending it because there was no science supporting that recommendation.”
