Manchester, NH – Today, General Don Bolduc issued the following statement in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) panel of expert vaccine advisers voting to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the children’s immunization schedule:

“Even President Biden has said the pandemic is over, and yet bureaucrats in Washington want us to inject our youngest with a vaccine they don’t need and parents aren’t asking for. If there was ever a moment that encapsulated all that is at stake in next month’s election, it’s this. Joe Biden, Maggie Hassan and liberals in Congress think that they have all the answers on everything under the sun, including the medical decisions made for our two year olds. I believe that these are matters best left to parents and doctors. The left is right: medical choice and freedom are on the ballot in November, and I am looking forward to that debate — especially right here in the Live Free or Die state.”

According to the new CDC guidance, children between the ages of six months and 18 years should receive a two-dose series of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
