Just as coronavirus infections are on the rise, federal authorities are throwing confusing recommendations about vaccinations into the mix. Many people are wondering whether they are eligible for a COVID shot, where to get one, and whether it’s covered by insurance. The answer, at least partly, depends on whether your state or tribe is filling in gaps opening up following the federal Food and Drug Administration abruptly changing its view of who should get the shot, drawing criticism and even defiance by established medial groups.
GUESTS
Janet Johnson (Nambe and Santa Clara Pueblos and Mandan-Hidatsa), tribal liaison for the New Mexico Department of Health
Dr. Beth Harp (Cherokee), executive medical director for Cherokee Nation Health Services
Dr. Miranda Durham, chief medical officer for the New Mexico Department of Health
Here is a statement from the U.S. Health and Human Services press secretary in response to a request for their participation in today’s show:
“Under the leadership of Secretary Kennedy, HHS is returning focus to the doctor-patient relationship. The Department encourages individuals to talk with their healthcare provider about any personal medical decision, including vaccines.
To be clear, HHS is not limiting vaccines. The COVID-19 vaccine remains available to anyone who chooses it in consultation with their healthcare provider. The FDA approved four COVID-19 vaccines with 2025-2026 formulas under the traditional approval processes. All four approved vaccines provide important protection against COVID-19. The specific vaccine you may choose to receive may depend on various factors. Consult with your healthcare provider about which vaccine is most appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Approved COVID-19 vaccines are available through healthcare providers, pharmacies, and other vaccination sites. Contact your healthcare provider or check local health department websites for vaccination locations and availability.
ACIP, the scientific body guiding immunization recommendations in this country, will meet next week to discuss COVID-19 vaccines. Please see: Federal Register :: Meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.”
