091025 Tell Congress: Restore Universal COVID Vaccine Access

Thanks to Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s anti-science views, the Food and Drug Administration is putting even more lives at risk.

The FDA just restricted COVID vaccine access to ONLY high-risk individuals. That means people under 65 or without underlying health conditions could be denied life-saving vaccines. The previous policy made vaccines available to everyone 6 months and older, and prevented countless deaths.

This dangerous decision comes as COVID activity is rising, with cases and hospitalizations growing across the country.

Public health authorities are denouncing the limitations as "unwarranted, unscientific and dangerous," warning this "puts the entire American population at risk for severe illness."

While doctors can still prescribe vaccines off-label, this adds another barrier to access as many people get their shots at pharmacies, not through doctors.

When we limit access to life-saving vaccines during a public health crisis, we abandon our commitment to protecting all Americans' health and safety.

In solidarity,
