The FDA approved new limits for Covid vaccines in the U.S., only clearing them for people at higher risk of severe illness, complicating access for healthy adults. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rescinded broad mandates and emphasized science, safety, and common sense. Vaccine skeptics are concerned about the change in policy.

Pfizer’s updated Covid shot is cleared for adults 65 and above and those ages five through 64 with underlying conditions. Moderna’s updated shot is approved for those 65 and up and people 6 months through 64 years at higher risk of severe illness. Both companies will begin shipping the shots immediately to pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics nationwide.

Shares of Pfizer and Moderna rose slightly, while Novavax shares dipped. The move raises questions about insurance coverage for healthy adults and access to the vaccines. Stay tuned for more updates on this breaking news.
