flag CDC panel recommends consulting a doctor before getting a COVID-19 vaccine, especially for high-risk groups.

flag The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices unanimously recommended that people consult a healthcare provider before receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, stressing shared decision-making for older adults and those with underlying conditions. flag A proposal to require a prescription split 6-6 and was not adopted. flag The change, pending approval from Acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill, could complicate access for uninsured or underserved groups and create uneven availability across states. flag The panel also urged updating vaccine information to reflect more risks, though it lacks authority to enforce changes. flag Federal programs will continue covering vaccines, but experts warn the added step may reduce uptake.
