CDC advisers vote that patients must consult a health care provider for Covid-19 vaccination, but no prescription required

Vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted unanimously on Friday to shift away from a broad recommendation for Covid-19 vaccines to say that people who want one must consult with a health care provider, a process known as shared clinical decision-making.

The 12 #CDC "vaccine advisers" voted 6 6 and the "chair" (number 13) voted NO. No Dr. prescription needed, well that's good😀

But 13 voted YES, people must consult a health care provider, that sounds bad, 🤕

But, the recommendations need approval from the CDC Director #JimONeill , that's bad 🤕

America’s Health Insurance Plans (with 200 million US citizens) has said it will continue to cover all immunizations through the end of _2026_. That's 🤔 good?
