CDC opens state ordering for COVID-19 vaccines after unexplained delay
摘要
美国卫生部门表示，在延迟近一个月后，各州现可通过儿童疫苗计划订购本季新冠疫苗，该计划为低收入儿童提供免费接种。此前，疾控中心尚未开放2026至2027年度新冠疫苗订购，尽管食品药品监督管理局已于8月底批准相关疫苗。卫生与公众服务部称疾控中心尚未最终确定采购决定，并暗示官员正在评估儿童是否应接种。延迟原因仍未获明确解释，引发外界对反疫苗的卫生部长小罗伯特·F·
After a nearly monthlong delay, states are now able to order this season's COVID-19 vaccines through a federal program that provides free immunizations to low-income children, the US health department says. Trump officials have still not provided a clear explanation for the delay, raising concerns about meddling from anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
On Wednesday, Ars Technica reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had still not opened ordering for 2026–2027 COVID-19 vaccines through the Vaccines for Children program. That was despite the vaccines having been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in late August.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) told Ars on Wednesday that “CDC has not yet finalized procurement decisions" for the shots. The department's statement further suggested Trump officials were questioning whether children should receive them. "HHS and CDC are committed to responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources and to ensuring that vaccines purchased through federally funded programs are appropriate for the populations those programs serve," the department said.
