60-Second Summary

New, stricter FDA guidelines for COVID-19 vaccines have limited access for many Americans. Previously available to all ages, the updated vaccines are now primarily for those 65+ or with underlying health conditions. This change has left many, including those wanting to protect vulnerable family members, struggling to obtain the vaccine. While the government claims vaccines are available, many report difficulty finding them due to limited supplies, differing pharmacy policies, and a delay in CDC recommendations. This situation has caused frustration and anger among those who want the vaccine but face significant hurdles.
