CVS and Pharmacies Tighten COVID Vaccine Access Amid New Restrictions
TL;DR Summary
New Yorkers seeking the updated COVID-19 vaccine at CVS will need a prescription, as federal health officials no longer recommend the vaccine for everyone over 6 months old without consultation. CVS will administer the vaccine in 14 states, including New York, until a federal advisory panel makes further recommendations next month. The FDA has authorized new vaccines for those 65 and older and individuals with certain health conditions, but broader recommendations are pending, with potential impacts from recent CDC leadership changes.
