The CDC updated its COVID-19 vaccine schedule to recommend that children ages 6 months to 4 years who have never received a COVID-19 vaccine receive a multidose initial series of the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine. The recommendation sparked outrage among vaccine opponents, including a U.S. senator. Some social media users called the recommendations unnecessary, “devastating,” and “anti-science,” while others argued that the government should close the border to prevent the spread of disease. Popular posts repeated false claims about COVID-19 vaccine safety, criticized the pediatric vaccine schedule, and claimed that they would never give their child any vaccine.
