CDC to end free COVID vaccine program for uninsured early
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said its Bridge Access Program will end in August because of a lack of funding. The program has provided more than 1.4 million free COVID-19 vaccines since it launched in September 2023 at a cost of more than $1 billion.
The Bridge Access Program was meant to be temporary and was scheduled to end in December 2024.
