RFK Jr. says US ending COVID shot recommendation for healthy children, pregnant women
Federal officials will no longer recommend the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children or healthy pregnant women, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday. Clinical data did not support the 'repeat booster strategy' for children, Kennedy said in a video posted to social media, flanked by National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Martin Makary. Removing the vaccine from the immunization schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was 'common sense,' Bhattacharya said. 'There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most countries have stopped recommending it for children,' Makary said. Federal officials also said last week that annual COVID shots for healthy younger adults and children will no longer be routinely approved, a significant shift in U.S. policy. Instead, FDA officials laid out new requirements for access to yearly COVID shots, saying they'd continue to use a streamlined approach that would continue offering them to adults 65 and older as well as children and younger adults with at least one health problem that puts them at higher risk.

In a framework published Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, agency officials said the approach still could keep annual vaccinations available for between 100 million and 200 million people. The upcoming changes raise questions for people who may still want a fall COVID-19 shot but don't clearly fit into one of the categories. 'Is the pharmacist going to determine if you're in a high-risk group?' asked Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccine expert at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Listeria alert: Premade wraps at Big Y, Price Chopper trigger health warning
A public health alert has been issued for read-to-eat chicken and bacon wrap products due to concerns of listeria contamination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The products were sold at Big Y and Price Chopper and were produced on May 2, the USDA statement reads. No recall was requested because the affected products are no longer available for purchase. The 'Big Y quick easy meals Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap' was sold in a 10 ounce clear plastic clamshell package with a sell by of May, 5 and lot code 25122. The 'Market 32 by Price Chopper Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap' was also sold in a 10 ounce clear plastic clamshell package and had a sell through date of May 7 and lot code 25122. The products were shipped to distributers in Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut. The problem was found when a state public health partner notified the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of a product sample that tested positive for listeria monocytogenes, according to the USDA. No confirmed reports of reactions after eating the products has been found, but people concerned about an illness are urged to contact a health care provider. Consumption of food contaminated with listeria can cause listeriosis, a 'serious' infection that especially affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant women and their newborns, the agency wrote. People outside of these risk groups are less commonly affected. Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms can also occur. For pregnant woman, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. Serious or fatal infections can occur in older adults and people with weakened immune systems, according to the USDA. Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics. People at higher-risk experiencing flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food, are advised to seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.

Public health alert: Listeria found in Big Y, Price Chopper ready-to-eat wrap
The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a public health alert on Tuesday after listeria was detected in a ready-to-eat chicken, bacon and ranch wrap sold at Big Y and Price Chopper grocery stores earlier this month. The problem was discovered when a state public health partner alerted health officials that a sample wrap had tested positive for listeria, according to the public health alert. The wraps were produced on May 2 and ultimately shipped to grocery stores in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. The wraps were sold in 10-ounce, clear plastic, clamshell containers with a 'sell by date' of May 7, 2025, a lot code of 25122 and an establishment number of 'P34657,' according to the public health alert. They were marketed at Big Y with the label 'Big Y quick easy meals CHICKEN BACON RANCH WRAP' and at Price Chopper with the label 'MARKET 32 BY PRICE CHOPPER Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap.' The wraps are no longer available for purchase, but anyone who still has one in their refrigerator is advised not to eat it, the public health alert states. Customers should throw the product away or return it to the grocery store where it was purchased. So far, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from eating the wraps, but eating food contaminated with listeria can cause a serious infection, according to the public health alert. Older people, those with weakened immune systems and pregnant persons are most at risk of developing severe, even fatal symptoms.
