Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine advisers on Friday unanimously endorsed scrapping a recommendation that Americans age 65 and older get a COVID-19 vaccine and that they only be vaccinated after consulting with a health provider.

Why it matters: The change, if endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, would signal an official lack of confidence in the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. But it would keep the vaccines covered by health insurers. 

The 12-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices also recommended that individuals six months to 64 years old also have discussions with a provider that should emphasize the risks and benefits of vaccination.
