As RFK Shifts Federal Policies, CA Sets Its own COVID Vaccine Guidelines
Season 2025
Episode 463
California recommends updated COVID shots for everyone 6 months and older and formed a health alliance with Oregon, Washington and Hawaii. AB 144 requires insurers to cover state-endorsed vaccines, and insurers in the state will follow those recommendations. Federal changes added a shared-decision step before shots. State guidance now takes precedence, and positivity topped 10% on Sept. 13.
