CVS stops Covid shots in 16 states over new CDC vaccine policies - CNN The Lead
Federal officials in the U.S. say that Covid-19 vaccines remain available to everyone, despite new restrictions on the groups that they’re approved for. But experts suggest that claim is misleading, as the more narrow approval may raise significant barriers to access for many Americans.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved updated Covid-19 vaccines specifically for seniors and younger people who have health conditions that put them at higher risk from Covid-19 – a much more limited approach than earlier approvals that greenlit the shots for everyone ages 6 months and older. - Aired on 08/29/2025.

I panicked when I read this news, since I've gotten all my Covid shots at CVS because they were the first to offer them in my area. In fact, the appointments filled up so fast that I had to go to the next county to get my first two.
So I'll need a prescription? That will be no problem with my doctor since I saw him for a checkup just last week and I asked him if I needed any inoculations and he said I should get the Covid vaccine when the new one came out. And I do have asthma. *sigh*
