We asked UC Berkeley infectious disease expert John E. Swartzberg for insight into what’s going on, and who will be able to receive COVID-19 vaccines this fall. It’s likely that California along with other states will defy the FDA’s restrictions on the COVID vaccine and allow the vaccine to be given to a much wider swath of people. Are COVID-19 vaccines updated each season, like the flu vaccine is? There is no reason it should be any different for the COVID vaccine. How can Americans keep up to date with current COVID-19 vaccine guidelines?
