     Hearing people being turned away from CVS because they say the bridge program doesn’t cover the updated vaccines. A Washington Post reporter also heard this from the CDC.

     It’s so horrible for the FDA to announce an updated COVID vaccine and at the exact same time the CDC end the program that provides them for free to people who are uninsured and underinsured.

     The CDC’s website still says the bridge access program will end in August 2024.

     The CDC should clarify that it doesn’t cover the updated vaccines ASAP.

     People shouldn’t only find out at the last moment when they try to get the vaccine.
