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.
