State Guidelines, Not CVS/Walgreens, Drive COVID Vaccine Access Limitations
Following state guidelines, CVS and Walgreens are implementing changes to their COVID-19 vaccine offerings, which now require a prescription or are unavailable in certain states. The FDA has approved vaccines for seniors and younger individuals with health conditions, leading to these adjustments. CVS has specified states where vaccines are available without a prescription and those where a prescription is needed based on patient age. Walgreens has announced its preparedness to offer vaccines in accordance with the recent FDA approval.
