The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is considering limiting access to the next Covid booster to those over 75, pregnant, or immunocompromised. (Similar to the practice in UK).
Comments to the Committee are accepted until September 8; they meet Sept 12. https://www.regulations.gov/document/CDC-2023-0060-0001
(It may not help, but it can't hurt to deluge them with comments, right?)

And/or register by 9/8 to give oral testimony: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/index.html
"the updated booster is not intended for everyone. It’s for people in high-risk groups – those who are age 75 or older, pregnant or immunocompromised, said Offit, who serves on the FDA’s expert panel that reviewed the vaccine companies’ data. Individuals in this group, he explained, stand to benefit the most in part because they account for a disproportionate number of COVID hospitalizations and deaths"

University of Wisconsin's ASM Student Council passed COVID legislation supporting improved COVID protections on campus. The proposed measures would improve the situation on campus significantly. Thanks to the ASM student representatives for their leadership! https://badgerherald.com/news/2023/02/10/asm-passes-covid-19-legislation-discusses-masking-requirements/ #CovidIsNotOver #vaxplus #COVIDisAirborne
