CDC Signals Changes To COVID Vaccine Schedule, In Part To Address Heart Inflammation Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Feb. 4 outlined an expected change to the COVID-19 vaccine schedule for people with weak immune systems and signaled that a different alteration is coming for the general population to try to cut the number of post-vaccination heart inflammation cases . The CDC told its vaccine advisory panel that its planning to adjust guidance for people with compromised immune systems, a group that doesnt respond as well to vaccines as the general population and is the only population that is advised to get four doses of the Moderna or Pfizer messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. Current CDC guidance for the immunocompromised says they should receive three doses of an mRNA vaccine within two months, and a fourth dose at least five months after the third dose. The revised schedule would recommend the population get that fourth shot as soon as three months after their third one.
