The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced significant changes to COVID-19 vaccine requirements, limiting annual booster approvals to older and high-risk Americans while implementing stricter clinical trial requirements for healthy adults.
What Happened: The FDA will now require new clinical trials for approval of annual COVID-19 boosters for healthy Americans under age 65, effectively restricting their availability to older adults and those at risk of severe illness, according to FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and top U.S. vaccines regulator Vinay Prasad in the New England Journal of Medicine, reported Reuters.
&#8220;At-risk Americans can be reassured that they will be covered by such approvals. At the same time, we want more evidence at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,&#8221; Prasad told FDA scientists during a live-streamed presentation on Tuesday. &#8220;We want to know more about what these products are doing, especially as we enter the seventh, eighth and ninth dose.&#8221;

The decision comes amid shifting political priorities at the FDA under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been remaking the U.S. health system to align with President Donald Trump&#8216;s goal of dramatically <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45488265/novavax-wins-limited-fda-nod-for-covid-shot-cleared-only-for-seniors-high-risk-groups-amid-safety-scrutiny">shrinking the federal government</a>. 
This follows a pattern of increased scrutiny of vaccines, as evidenced by the FDA&#8217;s recent limited approval of Novavax Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) COVID-19 vaccine only for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45488265/novavax-wins-limited-fda-nod-for-covid-shot-cleared-only-for-seniors-high-risk-groups-amid-safety-scrutiny">people 65 and older and those 12</a> and up with underlying health conditions.
Despite the policy change, investors appeared reassured that vaccine policies for older and high-risk Americans remain unchanged. Shares of COVID-19 vaccine makers rose following the announcement, with Moderna (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) up 6.06%, Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) rising 2.22%, BioNTech&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>) U.S. ADRs up 4.1%, and Novavax gaining 1.5%.

South Africa is likely to offer Elon Musk a regulatory workaround for Starlink to soften tensions ahead of President Cyril Ramaphosa's meeting with President Donald Trump.
What Happened: A meeting was reportedly scheduled for Tuesday night between South African officials and Musk or his representatives, hoping to smooth relations before Ramaphosa visits the White House.
The proposal would be a workaround that allows Starlink to bypass traditional Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) requirements by presenting it as infrastructure investments or rural connectivity projects instead of direct equity transfers, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-20/south-africa-to-offer-musk-starlink-deal-before-trump-meeting">reports</a>. This model has been used by major auto companies in 2019.

Why It Matters:  The new development comes as Musk and Trump have promoted criticisms of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43579159/trump-vs-south-africa-aid-cut-refugee-plan-and-land-law-tensions-escalate">South African policies</a>. Musk was born in Pretoria and has publicly accused South Africa of having "openly racist ownership laws," alleging that he has not been allowed to launch Starlink in the country because he is not Black.
Trump has backed these claims, recently granting refugee status to White South Africans and promoting the narrative of a genocide, an allegation a local court dismissed as "clearly imagined and not real."
Notably, Musk's xAI&#8217;s Grok&nbsp;recently made headlines for responding to unrelated queries on X with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45428241/elon-musks-grok-ai-got-asked-how-many-times-has-hbo-changed-its-name-leaves-user-stunned-with-racially-charged-response">racially charged commentary on South Africa</a>, including repeating claims of "white genocide."
Meanwhile, Senate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45430526/as-elon-musk-secures-saudi-starlink-deal-elizabeth-warren-and-senate-democrats-demand-probe-into-possible-ethics-violations-and-accuse-trump-administration-of-helping-spacex-secure-foreign-deals">Democrats are demanding a federal investigation</a> into whether the Trump administration is aiding Musk&#8217;s company, SpaceX, to secure access to foreign markets, citing Starlink&#8217;s swift expansion into countries like Bangladesh and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44268506/elon-musk-led-spacex-inks-agreements-with-indias-top-telecom-providers-expands-addressable-market-by-over-850-million-users" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">India</a>, where permissions were granted soon after interactions with Musk or during larger U.S. trade negotiations.
They also referred to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45316049/us-reportedly-pressures-tariff-hit-nations-to-approve-elon-musks-starlink-an-important-lubricant-that-facilitates-a-deal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent reports</a> claiming that the U.S. has allegedly been coercing some countries hit by Trump&#8217;s tariffs to authorize Starlink&#8217;s services.
