Melanie James+FollowFDA Narrows COVID Vax—Who’s Still Eligible?Big shift: The FDA just announced that only adults 65+ and people with certain health risks (think asthma, cancer, diabetes, etc.) will be able to get the new COVID-19 vaccine this fall. Healthy younger adults and kids? Not on the list unless new trials prove it’s worth it. This move is sparking debate—some say it’s about safety, others worry it’ll make vaccines harder to get and fuel more hesitancy. What do you think about this new approach? #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #FDA #PublicHealth #VaccineNews #Health20Share
Spencer Brewer+FollowFDA’s Big COVID Vaccine Shake-UpMajor update: The FDA wants to limit COVID shots to people 65+ and those at high risk, instead of recommending them for everyone. They’re also asking for more research to see if younger, healthy folks really need more doses. Experts are torn—some say it makes sense, others worry it could mean more COVID cases and less access. If you’re under 65 and healthy, your next booster might not be a sure thing! #COVID19 #FDA #VaccineUpdate #PublicHealth #HealthNews #Health125Share
Kevin Rodriguez+FollowCOVID Shots Now for Just a Select Few?Big change: The FDA just announced that updated COVID vaccines will only be approved for people 65+, pregnant women, and those with certain health conditions (think asthma, diabetes, cancer, obesity). If you’re under 65 and healthy, you might not get access—or insurance coverage—anymore. This shift comes as RFK Jr.’s vaccine-skeptic influence grows, even though he wasn’t directly involved. Some experts say this is way too restrictive and could leave a lot of people out. What do you think: smart move or too risky? #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #FDA #HealthNews #RFKJr #Health10Share
Stephanie Snow+FollowFDA Shakes Up COVID Booster RulesBig change alert: The FDA just announced they’ll require actual clinical trials (not just immune response data) before approving new COVID booster shots for healthy people under 65. If you’re high-risk or over 65, you’ll still get access based on immune response. But for the rest of us? The bar’s higher—think gold-standard, randomized trials. Vaccine stocks like Moderna and Novavax jumped on the news. Is this the start of a new era for vaccine approvals? #COVID19 #FDA #VaccineUpdate #HealthNews #Moderna #Health100Share
Allison Bauer+FollowCOVID Shots: Who Gets Them Now?Big update on COVID vaccines: The FDA is tightening the rules, so this fall, only seniors and people with health risks (think diabetes, pregnancy, even depression) will get easy access to updated shots. If you’re healthy and under 65, you’ll need to wait for more clinical trials before you can get the new boosters. Basically, no more one-size-fits-all—just targeted protection for those who need it most. Thoughts on this new approach? #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #FDA #HealthNews #PublicHealth #Health00Share
nheath+FollowNovavax’s COVID Vax: Not for Everyone?Novavax just got full FDA approval, but there’s a catch: it’s only for people 65+ or those 12-64 with health risks. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA shots, Novavax is protein-based (fewer side effects, anyone?). But with the FDA shaking up vaccine rules, next fall’s booster options might look way different. If you’re tired of shots, nasal vaccines could be on the horizon! #Novavax #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #FDA #HealthNews #Health00Share
Adam Cox+FollowFDA’s New COVID Shot Rules—What’s Up?The FDA just gave Novavax’s new COVID shot the green light, but only for seniors and high-risk folks—not everyone. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna, which are approved for anyone 12+, Novavax’s shot is limited to those 65+ or people 12-64 with health risks. Plus, the FDA wants more safety data, especially for heart issues. And heads up: the whole vaccine approval process might be changing soon, with talks of new rules and even dropping COVID shots from the kids’ vaccine list. Stay tuned! #COVID19 #Novavax #FDA #VaccineUpdate #HealthNews #Health47Share
Melinda Gutierrez+FollowHHS Might Drop COVID Vax Rec for Kids & MomsBig news: The HHS could soon stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for kids, teens, and pregnant women as a routine thing. The CDC still says everyone 6 months+ should get the latest shot, but that might change soon. No word yet if the advice will be totally scrapped or just shifted to 'talk to your doctor.' Only about 14% of pregnant women and 13% of kids/teens got this season’s vax, so this could shake things up! #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #HealthNews #Parenting #Pregnancy #Health00Share
nheath+FollowNew Covid Shot, But Only for SomeThe FDA just greenlit a new Covid vaccine from Novavax, but here’s the catch: it’s only for people 65+ or those 12-65 with health risks. Unlike the usual mRNA shots, this one’s protein-based—so if you’ve been holding out for something different, this might be your moment (if you qualify). People are already debating the restrictions and whether it should be more widely available. Would you try this new option if you could? #CovidVaccine #Novavax #FDA #HealthNews #VaccineUpdate #Health322Share
Stacy Fisher+FollowNovavax Vax Finally Gets FDA Green LightAfter weeks of waiting, Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine just got FDA approval—but only for people 65+ or anyone 12+ with a health condition that puts them at higher risk. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA shots, Novavax uses a more old-school protein-based tech. The FDA wants more studies on rare heart inflammation risks, but experts say the benefits still outweigh the risks for those who need it most. Looks like there’s a new option for high-risk folks this season! #Novavax #Covid19Vaccine #FDAApproval #HealthNews #VaccineUpdate #Health21Share
