Whether COVID-19 vaccines will be"required" going forward is decided by states and local jurisdictions, not federal authorities. But recent remarks from media personalities, federal health advisors, and President Joe Biden have fueled confusion.
Last week, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisers recommended that the agency add the vaccine to the recommended immunization schedule for everyone ages 6 months and older.that the CDC would soon"make the vax mandatory for kids to attend school." And while getting his next COVID-19 booster shot on Tuesday, President Joe Biden said that"for most Americans," a COVID-19 shot"once a year is going to be required," but he didn't clarify further.
