Can you get a COVID shot? Here are 4 things to know [blyaTla7Ro1]
Crisp weather is popping up across the United States, signaling the start of fall, a new school year and, of course, respiratory virus season. But five years after the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, access to vaccines against the virus in the U.S. is on shaky ground. Today, many people are wondering if they will be able to get vaccinated at all, particularly against COVID, after changes to vaccine guidance by the Trump administration. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former anti-vaccine advocate who has spread misinformation about vaccines and autism, has led several U.S. policy and personnel changes so far, including more narrow national recommendations for who should get a COVID booster, firing and replacing a panel of health experts who advise the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccines and reportedly firing CDC Director Susan Monarez over disagreements about vaccine science. Here’s advice medical experts offered to PBS News about who can get vaccinated this fall. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
