About this episode
The one thing certain about the COVID vaccine right now is that everything about it is changing.
The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the next round of COVID-19 vaccines for the fall season, but it significantly changed who can get it.
The move comes amidst a broader effort by the Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to change policy and guidance around many vaccines.
At this point — we’re guessing you have lots of questions about vaccination in general, but especially around COVID shots.
That’s why we asked our NPR listeners to submit their questions about the FDA’s new COVID vaccine guidance.
UCSF infectious disease doctor Dr. Peter Chin-Hong answered your questions.
