I live in MA and definitely cannot schedule. CVS is not taking appointments for the new vaccine here.

CVS is scheduling them in New Hampshire and Rhode Island. We're booked for one in Nashua, New Hampshire. Fortunately the states are small and close together out here.

Be sure to check your insurance coverage. Not all plans work for out-of-state pharmacy vaccinations.

Interesting. Let's just say the situation is fraught and complicated. Did you need a prescription? That's another element to the puzzle.

The reason is that these states only allow pharmacies to dispense vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This used to be done routinely at the same time as the FDA approved them, but everything's a mess this year due to RFK Jr firing the whole ACIP in June.

FDA approval makes it legal for them to be injected into humans, ACIP approval is what makes them routine, available at pharmacies, generally covered by insurance, etc.
