As far as I can tell the CDC vaccine advisory panel today voted:

- NOT to require Rx for the COVID-19 vaccine (very close vote)

- BUT to require "consultation with a health care provider" to obtain the vaccine. Unclear if the administering pharmacist counts here or not.

- Availability remains the same as earlier recommendation : 65+ OR 6-64 with underlying risk factors.

Nothing is final until the (acting) CDC director approves.
