CVS and Pharmacies Tighten COVID Vaccine Access Amid New Restrictions

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.

"Streamlined CDC Covid Guidelines: What You Need to Know"

The CDC announced new Covid recommendations, including shortened isolation guidelines for those testing positive and an additional updated shot for seniors, aiming to balance relaxing guidelines with stressing the importance of vaccines and treatments. The new isolation guidelines allow people with Covid to resume daily activities if fever-free without medication for 24 hours and with improving symptoms for 24 hours, while the updated vaccines target the omicron subvariant and JN.1 subvariant. Additionally, investments in women's health are showing growth, but still make up a small portion of venture funding for the overall health-care industry.

"COVID Vaccine Updates: Challenges and Availability for Americans"

Over 7 million Americans have received the updated COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna or Pfizer and BioNTech, targeting the XBB.1.5 Omicron subvariant. Distribution of the vaccines began in September, and millions of doses of another updated vaccine from Novavax have also been made available. Despite reports of difficulties in booking appointments or finding shots at no cost, U.S. public health officials remain optimistic and recommend that everyone aged 6 months and older receive the new vaccines.
