The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory committee on Friday voted to abandon its recommendation for the COVID-19 vaccine, with the committee unanimously voting to recommend that Americans get the shot "based on individual-based decision-making," meaning it's a personal choice.
It's unclear what implications the vote will have for insurance coverage for Americans who want to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Many major insurers have said they would continue to cover the cost of the vaccines through at least 2026 no matter how the committee voted this week.
