Thanks for addressing this question. In the "land of the free" what a freakish irony that whereas vaccine mandates are compared to Nazi Germany’s persecution of the Jews, vaccine anti-mandates (you can’t get the vaccine booster even if you want one*) barely raises an eyebrow. (*Unless you have a doctor who will prescribe and a pharmacy that cooperates.)

So I actually think that this is one important respect in which ending the federal emergency could actually make it a little easier to get boosters. Determining who gets vaccinated will cease to be under direct federal jurisdiction - it will revert to being a matter between you and your doctor, as it ultimately should be.

There are discussions going on, so we must all stay hopeful ... https://www.wsj.com/articles/fda-may-authorize-additional-covid-19-booster-shots-c85c0672
And for those interested in contacting the FDA and CDC to share your desire to see an end to the de facto moratorium on 6-month bivalent Covid Vaccine boosters, you can contact the FDA at 'cberocod@fda.hhs.gov' (that's the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research) and the CDC here: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/dcs/contactus/form?fbclid=IwAR0akwP8SFOhTE57kZ5Cn2kDUiWScf3G04Cj7kHjO82CpryzAo4DIkAVhC0
Dont' forget to include the US Preventive Services Taskforce in your lobbying efforts - they're relevant.
very valuable--thank you
