The Trump administration is considering new restrictions that could limit access to annual COVID booster shots for healthy Americans, even though the vaccines have already passed rigorous safety checks and the virus remains a serious threat.

Editor’s Note: This move could make it harder for people to stay protected against COVID, especially as the virus continues to evolve. Given how many lives vaccines have already saved, limiting booster access—without clear scientific justification—raises concerns about political interference in public health decisions. It’s a story worth watching because it could shape how easily Americans can defend themselves against future waves of the disease.
