About This Lesson
This AFT bulletin explains the latest COVID-19 vaccine access rules and safety guidance. It highlights how federal policy changes under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have restricted access, requiring prescriptions in many states and leaving some without availability. It provides information for parents and individuals seeking vaccines, outlines state-by-state access, and warns against health misinformation. The bulletin also spotlights leadership from medical associations and states working to ensure continued access, especially for children, pregnant people, and those at higher risk.
