WATCH: Former FDA Commissioner Gottlieb Stands Against Mandated Boosters for Kids
Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb says that parents should decide if their children receive a COVID-19 booster.
Appearing on Face the Nation on Sunday, Gottlieb said that boosters should not be mandated by schools.
“I certainly don’t think schools should be mandating boosters. I think this should be left up to the discretion of parents and their physicians. You know, it’s going to depend on the individual circumstance,” Gottlieb said during the interview.
