But the FDA framework,, urges companies to conduct large, lengthy studies before tweaked vaccines can be approved for healthier people. It’s a stark break from the previous federal policy recommending an annual COVID shot for all Americans six months and older. In the paper and a subsequent online webcast, the FDA’s top vaccine official said more than 100 million Americans still should qualify for what he termed a booster under the new guidance.described the new approach as a “reasonable compromise” that will allow vaccinations in high-risk groups to continue while generating new data about whether they still benefit healthier people.

AP’s Lisa Dwyer reports there are new requirements for COVID vaccines for healthy adults and children.“For many Americans we simply do not know the answer as to whether or not they should be getting the seventh or eighth or ninth or tenth COVID-19 booster,” said Prasad, who joined the FDA earlier this month. He previously spent more than a decade in academia, frequently criticizing the FDA’s handling of drug and vaccine approvals.

It’s unclear what the upcoming changes mean for people who may still want a fall COVID-19 shot but don’t clearly fit into one of the categories.

“Is the pharmacist going to determine if you’re in a high-risk group?” asked Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccine expert at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “The only thing that can come of this will make vaccines less insurable and less available.”Marie Jean Denis, left, hugs Jennie Joseph, right, lead midwife and clinic director as she leaves after her appointment at the Commonsense Childbirth clinic.

Another was born to a teen mom, grew up without much money and joined the organization to help people who often don’t get access to midwifery care.

On a recent afternoon, Kayleigh Sturrup arrived for a clinic checkup a few weeks before giving birth to her first child. During the pregnancy, she had uterine fibroids, ligament pain and shortness of breath. She said the midwives gave her “a layer of support.”Experts say health care providers are more likely to spot potential problems when they listen closely to patients and take what they say seriously.
