Most Americans under 65 may need a doctor’s note — or pay up — for COVID shots this fall, according to reporting by the USA Today.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the FDA now limits updated COVID vaccines to people over 65 or those with underlying health conditions. The move ends broad access and could cost some up to $200 out-of-pocket, depending on insurance.
New York lawmakers want insurers to keep covering the shots, but their bill won’t pass before fall. Some major plans may still offer coverage, but many details remain unclear.
