Patients with weakened immune systems who are at high risk from COVID-19 say pharmacies are turning them away when they seek additional vaccine doses recommended by federal health officials.

The confusion stems from recent updates in vaccine advice for immunocompromised people, as well as a change in the interval between the end of a primary vaccine series and a booster.
