CDC now requires provider consultation for updated COVID-19 shots, limiting eligibility to high-risk groups.
The CDC now requires individuals to consult a healthcare provider before getting an updated COVID-19 vaccine, a shift from prior annual blanket recommendations.
The change, effective after a two-week delay, mandates shared decision-making and allows vaccine distribution through the Vaccines for Children Program with insurance coverage.
It follows FDA restrictions limiting updated vaccines to those at higher risk, such as adults 65 and older or those with certain health conditions.
The move may reduce access, especially for underserved populations, and has drawn criticism from experts who argue it undermines public trust and could lower vaccination rates despite strong evidence on the vaccines’ safety and effectiveness.
