Experts warn the new guidelines — a sharp break from previous years — could have deadly consequences.
Just as COVID-19 cases continue to rise across the country, the Food and Drug Administration approved new COVID shots for 2025-2026. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the news Wednesday in a post on X.
The new recommendations are limited when compared with previous years; fewer people, particularly children and people under 65, will have access to the vaccine.
The FDA approved this year’s COVID shots for people 65 and older, and anyone under 65 with underlying conditions, like asthma, that put them at high risk of severe COVID.
These guidelines are a major shift from last year, when every person six months and older was eligible for the jab, regardless of whether they had an underlying condition.
This fall, COVID shots from Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax are available for everyone 65 and older, while children under 5 are no longer eligible for the Pfizer COVID shot, according to Kennedy’s post on X, because of the FDA revoking the emergency use authorization for COVID vaccines.
