New FDA restrictions will make COVID-19 vaccines only available to elderly and people with medical conditions

  • On Thursday, government experts will convene to determine whether COVID-19 vaccines require modifications to enhance protection during the upcoming fall and winter seasons.
  • The meeting follows recent FDA policy changes limiting routine booster approval to seniors and high-risk younger people, unlike the prior universal recommendation.
  • The policy shift has caused uncertainty about vaccine eligibility for healthy individuals, insurance coverage, and implications for unvaccinated babies as fall approaches.
  • Dr. Vinay Prasad, who leads the FDA’s vaccine efforts, stated that the agency is seeking input on which COVID-19 strains to include in future vaccines, aims to allow more time for people to understand the new vaccination policy, and remains receptive to receiving feedback.
  • This change challenges the upcoming vaccination campaign, reflecting criticism of the U.S.'s "one-size-fits-all" approach long out of step with Europe’s more limited booster recommendations.
