"I’m deeply concerned about the🚨new FDA move limiting #COVID #vaccines only to “high-risk groups.” CDC data shows those 50+ face rising risks, 65+ up to 340x higher death risk. Add: chronic disease:➡️71% of US adults are at elevated risk!
Underlying conds like diabetes or heart disease, plus LTC res (35% of deaths, <1% pop), & minorities w access barriers heighten risk. Even w this chg,⚡vaccination remains critical for all adults. Talk to your health provider -stay protected!"
