Key Points

The Food and Drug Administration ended its broader authorization of Covid vaccines in the U.S., only clearing shots for people at higher risk of severe illness.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the shots are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors.

But it’s unclear how easily patients without high risk factors will be able to get a Covid vaccine, and whether insurance plans will still cover the shots for healthy Americans.
