A push to require prescriptions for every COVID shot failed in a split vote.
In the 12–0 vote, the committee of advisors selected by anti-vaccine activist Robert F.

After this story was published, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adopted the recommendation, which will broadly maintain requirements that federal and private health insurance plans cover COVID-19 vaccines at no cost. Data continue to show that the COVID-19 vaccines protect against emergency department and urgent care visits among children and adults, as well as hospitalizations and critical illness in people aged 65 and older.
