FDA reviews stricter vaccine rules after unconfirmed link to child deaths; CDC advises doctor consultations for young children.
The FDA is considering stricter vaccine approval standards following an internal review that reportedly links 10 child deaths to COVID-19 vaccines, though the agency has not confirmed causation.
The findings, based on data from VAERS and cited in a memo by top FDA official Vinay Prasad, suggest myocarditis may be a contributing factor, but experts note the data has not been peer-reviewed.
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said the agency would no longer "rubber-stamp" approvals and questioned the scientific basis for annual mRNA shots in children.
In response, the CDC now recommends doctor consultations before vaccinating children under 6.
Public health officials emphasize the vaccines' overall safety and benefits, stressing that the current approval process remains robust.
