COVID Information & Resources
The Arc of Indiana has developed this resource page to help provide the most recent factual information regarding COVID.
August 27, 2025 – The Food and Drug Administration has approved updated COVID vaccines for the fall, 2025 season that include limits on who can get the shots.
The agency authorized the vaccines for people who are 65 and older, who are known to be more vulnerable to severe illness from COVID. Younger people would only be eligible if they had at least one underlying medical condition that would put them at risk for severe disease. Healthy children under 18 could still receive the shots if a medical provider is consulted.
An advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still must vote to recommend them. This would mark the first fall/winter season that Covid shots were not widely recommended to most people and children.
SAI Video – Let’s Talk About the COVID-19 Vaccine
Self-Advocates of Indiana (SAI) has produced an informational video, Let’s Talk About the COVID-19 Vaccine. The video shares an important message on what the vaccine is, why it is important, how to talk with your physician about if the vaccine is right for you, and how to get information from trusted sources about the vaccine. We encourage you to watch and share the video, particularly with people with IDD, as self-advocates share with other self-advocates.
