The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is discontinuing a program that offered free COVID-19 vaccines to uninsured adults in the United States, according to the agency’s website.

The CDC said in an update that its Bridge Access Program, which offers free COVID-19 vaccines to adults who do not have health insurance or whose insurance does not cover vaccination costs, will end in August.
