Things have been changing all day — you may get a different result if you try now. I tested all 50 states myself this evening and they matched the list CVS confirmed. But if you try again and still get that message, send me a screenshot please?

Still won't this morning FYI. I'm in NE Ohio so guess they're just not stocking here yet. I tried a few areas within about 20 mins of me.

CVS notice saying vaccine is unavailable due to state restrictions or inventory.

I made an appt yesterday at a CVS here in SW Ohio - but it's for Sept 8th, and for the Covid booster. No problem, but I'm over 65.

Ugh, this is so weird and frustrating, I'm sorry! I'm able to find appointments by plugging in zip codes in and around several major cities in Ohio, so it's definitely not one of the forbidden states, but it's very possible that supply is an issue. Seeing what I can find out.

I'm guessing a supply issue mostly. I was able to schedule in SW Ohio

Now I get this message when it goes to geographic location. Tried it twice. I'll check back in the morning.

Ah, that's odd! I didn't get that particular message for any state when I did my tests (the message for the states where it's unavailable was different). I wonder if that might be their site being overloaded? Please do keep me posted, though — if this is a consistent thing, I want to look into it.

Both Walgreens & CVS were scheduling for 9/4 or after in Cincinnati when I looked this evening. (I do wonder if they are booking a week out because visits are in fact “popular” in my area or because they are estimating that is when they will receive a shipment to have vaccine in stock.)

Almost certainly the latter, I had just checked yesterday and it said they were still waiting for approval, so there's no way they filled up that fast.
