New FDA guidance limits COVID boosters to 65+ and "high risk" people.
Practically speaking: LOTS of people are high risk, and pharmacists still aren't supposed to ask you for evidence that you're high risk. Indeed they didn't ask when I got my spring booster.
Fewer people are going to get vaccinated. It's up to us, who know better, to get boosted to protect ourselves and those around us.
