Not only is it unavailable in most pharmacies, but even where it IS available, people can't afford it since the CDC isn't recommending it. The only way insurance will pay for it is if the CDC recommends it or a doctor prescribes it. That puts it out of reach for all but the super-rich.

I tried to schedule online for someone over 65 and received a pop-up that said the vaccine was unavailable due to state restrictions or inventory. If it’s possible to get one, it certainly isn’t easy.

Yes, today, Walgreen’s corporate needs a script. My script was there Friday and I had my shots. Hubby took flu only. Hubby’s script was there today and he took his COVID-19 shot. It was interesting to hear their clerk say this morning, “We don’t give COVID vaccinations.” We are over 65.

Same goes for NC. The state law on vaccines is that you don't need an RX if CDC has authorized vaccine for your demographics. No one contemplated the HHS would fire all of CDC management. This means great difficulty getting vaccine if 1 is 64 or younger . VA seems to have same rule.

It depends on the state and either the law or the rules set out by the pharmacy board. In some states, they have to wait for the current year’s CDC ACIP meeting, which hasn’t happened yet. In other states, drs can write prescriptions for with just thE FDA auth, which happened a couple weeks ago.
