Insurance coverage typically follows federal recommendations, so anyone who is healthy and under 65 is likely to have to pay out of pocket to get the shot ‒ which runs about $200 ‒ if they can get it. It's not clear what insurance companies will do about the new recommendations.

The framework the new FDA leaders laid out on Tuesday raised small and big questions about the regulatory process, vaccine access, and medical ethics.

In a major policy shift, federal health officials anticipate the shots will be made available to adults 65 and older as well as children and younger adults who have one or more risk factors that make them more vulnerable to severe COVID-19.

The Trump administration's COVID-19 vaccine policy changes mean anyone who is healthy and under 65 will likely have to pay out of pocket for the shot.

The FDA has updated COVID-19 vaccine regulations. Only people aged 65 and up, along with certain groups, will be eligible to receive booster shots. FDA officials are asking for more data around the vaccine’s effectiveness for people who are otherwise healthy.

The US Food and Drug Administration is changing the way it approves Covid-19 vaccines for Americans, a move that may limit future shots to older Americans and people at higher risk of serious Covid-19 infection.

The FDA plans to limit access to certain high-risk groups and also told Pfizer and Moderna to update their warning labels about heart inflammation.
