Скачать или смотреть FDA's new COVID shot guidance could make it harder for Americans to get boosters

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved new COVID-19 shots for this fall, but only for a limited number of Americans.

Under the FDA's new guidance, the vaccine is approved for all adults 65 and older, but only for younger adults and kids with at least one medical condition that puts them at risk for severe illness from COVID.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said on social media the new vaccines "are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors."

But many health experts say the change is in line with Kennedy's history of vaccine skepticism and will make it harder for some people to get a COVID shot.
