TAMPA, Fla. — Jeff Watson got the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it became available. He took the first booster shot, too.
But when it comes to the updated bivalent booster, he said, he feels differently.
While the 73-year-old still gets his flu shot each year, some of the news channels he watches have raised doubts about the safety and efficacy of coronavirus vaccines, as have political leaders he voted to put in office. Just last week, Gov. Ron DeSantis launched a probe into the vaccines, shots he touted as lifesaving for seniors just one year ago.
