I’m at California’s biggest not for profit HMO, which is generally pretty good at covering stuff like this. They are still “reviewing” the FDA guidelines.
They’re probably stuck between a rock and a hard place. Fewer vaccinated people means sicker patients, and those costs get passed along to everyone else in the coverage pool. So higher rates.
But if you do give shots outside of recommended guidelines, you can sued by people who want to blame something on off label use.

Can the states themselves maybe create limitations on those lawsuits for COVID vaccines for a period of time?
Oh this is interesting! Good to know, I had no idea. Thank you!
