 Is your immune system strong enough for politics? In a reversal of federal public health policy, the Trump administration announced it will restrict access to seasonal COVID-19 shots, reserving them mainly for seniors and high-risk individuals.

That means, for the first time, your access to a shot could depend on whether you’re deemed high-risk. The new policy reflects a growing movement inside the administration to pull back on vaccines, especially for the young and healthy.
