CDC's COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance Sparks Confusion Amid Recent Changes
Originally Published 3 months ago — by NBC News

The new guidelines have led to a patchwork of state policies, complicating access and communication about vaccination. Despite these changes, vaccines remain free for most insured individuals, and availability varies by location and provider.
