I'm not seeing any contradiction at all. You just have to read the whole thing, not just the paragraphs that you agree with or want to challenge.
I do see a contradiction, and don't want to challenge anything. The flu vaccine came out on Thursday, not today. And, as of Thursday, CDC had no official recommendation about who should get it and when. I also didn't see any new guidance on the CDC website today. I called my pharmacist and he recommends getting the shot as soon as possible for people over 65. They have no special guidance about who should wait a month. If you have other guidance, it would be helpful if you can provide a link for your information source, especially about who these "certain people" are who should wait a month?
