The news I saw said the CDC was thinking about the recommendation of N95s.
I can think of several reasons why they didn't.
Just off the top of my head:
1) they may not want to see a massive rush on N95s/KN95s causing a shortage to hospital workers an lab people working on vaccines.
2) There are a lot of fakes out there.
3) And possibly most important, for N95s to be effective, the need to be FITTED for the specific user. Also, if you have a beard, N95s as such are pretty much useless.
