"I think since it was given with a date, many assumed that it was given a blessing by the White House and this was the next step," she said, adding that those providers have "now put themselves at risk" by immunizing individuals outside FDA and CDC recommendations. Demetre Daskalakis, who's been detailed to CDC's Covid response group, warned committee members that health care providers who don't follow federal guidance on how the vaccines should be administered may expose themselves to liability when...
