The new shots from Pfizer, Moderna & Novavax are approved for all #seniors. But the #FDA narrowed their use for younger #adults & #children to those with at least 1 high-risk #health condition, such as #asthma or #obesity. That presents new barriers to access for millions of Americans who’d have to prove their risk -- & millions more who may want to get vaccinated & suddenly no longer qualify.

Additionally, Pfizer’s #vaccine will no longer be available for any child underage 5, after the #FDA said it was revoking the shot’s emergency authorization for that age group.
Parents will still be able to seek out shots from rival drugmaker #Moderna, the other
maker of #mRNA #vaccines, which has full FDA approval for #children as young as 6 months. But the company’s Spikevax vaccine is only approved for children w/at least one serious #health problem.
#FDA approves updated #COVID19 shots but limits access for some kids & adults

"A classroom of children dies every day in Gaza. Twenty-eight children lost daily to starvation and violence. Yet since the war started in October 2023, only 80 children have been granted visas to come to the UK through humanitarian routes. By contrast, 52,900 children from Ukraine arrived in the UK on emergency visas in around the first 18 months after Russia’s invasion"
