There's a dwindling supply of the Fall '24 booster (may be totally depleted by now); and the updated '25 booster was slated for approval and distribution this Fall. I suspect this move, if proven accurate, would apply to *all* C-19 vaccines produced for the U.S.

In the 105 years since women won our right to vote with the 19th Amendment’s ratification, the danger of losing our access to the ballot has never been greater than it is today. Enemies of equality aren’t on the fringe anymore – some, like Pete Hegseth, are even in the president’s inner circle.
