9月16日(路透社)——据《华尔街日报》16日报道,援引知情人士消息,美国各州通过联邦免疫项目获取儿童新冠疫苗的流程正面临延误。

报道称,美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)尚未开始接受新冠疫苗订单。

各州通过“儿童疫苗计划”(Vaccines for Children)为儿童提供免费疫苗,该计划覆盖美国约一半的青少年群体;同时还通过另一项政府项目为无保险或保险不足的成年人提供免费疫苗。

已有商业保险的患者已经可以在CVS(CVS.N)等药房接种疫苗。

报道补充称,政府的新冠疫苗订单通常会在商业保险计划下疫苗可供使用后的两周内下达。

美国卫生与公众服务部发言人表示,新冠病毒并不遵循流感和其他呼吸道病毒那样可预测的季节性模式,不应将武断设定的9月日期视为疫苗采购的公共卫生最后期限。

该发言人补充称,CDC正在敲定“儿童疫苗计划”和第317条项目下的新冠疫苗采购相关决定,更多细节将很快公布。

此次延误正值特朗普政府缩减疫苗指导方针之际。CDC不再建议所有儿童接种新冠疫苗,转而敦促家长咨询医生。该机构此前曾建议6个月及以上的所有人群接种该疫苗。

今年早些时候,一名联邦法官阻止了政府实施更严格的疫苗接种计划。

公开批评新冠疫苗的卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪推动政府大幅放宽疫苗接种建议。

全国范围内的疫苗犹豫情绪正在上升,麻疹疫情正在蔓延,周二早些时候宾夕法尼亚州报告了4例与麻疹相关的死亡病例。

《华尔街日报》援引CDC数据报道称,新冠加强针的需求已经大幅下降,去年6个月至17岁的儿童中接种疫苗的比例不到10%。

Sept 16 (Reuters) – U.S. states are facing delays in obtaining COVID-19 vaccines for children through a ​federal immunization program, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing people familiar ‌with the matter.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not started accepting orders for COVID-19 shots, according to the report.

States provide free vaccines to children through the Vaccines for ​Children program, which covers about half of the country’s youths, and to ​uninsured or underinsured adults through a separate government program.

Commercially insured patients ⁠can already get shots at pharmacies such as CVS (CVS.N).

Government orders for COVID-19 shots ​are typically placed within two weeks of the vaccines becoming available for commercially insured ​programs, the report added.

A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson said COVID-19 does not follow the same predictable seasonal pattern as influenza and other respiratory viruses, and that an arbitrary ​September date should not be treated as a public health deadline for vaccine procurement.

The ​CDC is finalizing decisions on COVID-19 vaccine procurement through the Vaccines for Children and Section 317 ‌programs, ⁠and more details will be available soon, the spokesperson added.

The holdup comes as the Trump administration scales back vaccine guidance. The CDC no longer recommends that all children get a COVID shot and is instead urging parents to consult their doctors. The agency ​had previously recommended that ​everyone age six ⁠months and older receive the vaccine.

A federal judge earlier this year blocked the administration from enacting a narrower vaccine schedule.

Health Secretary ​Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has publicly criticized the COVID ​vaccine, has ⁠pushed the administration to broadly step back from vaccine recommendations.

Vaccine hesitancy is rising nationwide, and measles outbreaks are spreading, with four measles-related deaths reported in Pennsylvania earlier on ⁠Tuesday.

Demand ​for COVID booster shots has already fallen sharply, and ​fewer than 10% of children aged six months to 17 were vaccinated last year, the Wall Street ​Journal reported, citing CDC data.
