This week, the Food and Drug Administration approved the next round of COVID-19 vaccines, with new restrictions.

COVID vaccines had been available to anyone 6 months and older regardless of their health. That's no longer the case.

Now, the FDA is limiting the updated shots to those who are at risk for serious complications because they are 65 or older, or have other health problems.

The Food and Drug Administration's approvals for the latest round of COVID-19 shots restrict the shots to people at higher risk of complications from COVID.

These new changes may bring back questions that are reminiscent of the early days of the pandemic.
