I live in NY and got my flu shot today but couldn’t get the COVID vaccine without a prescription. Messaged my doc and they’ll send one in. I’m hoping NY drops that now that the governor took some action.
I am in another state, but I just registered on CVS’s website. When you select Covid, they have two questions, ‘Have you had a Covid shot in the last two months’ and ‘Do you have a condition that increases your risk for Covid’. They have a link with conditions CDC considers increased risk. There’s a bunch of stuff, including mental health disorders and having a BMI above 25. You could also just click yes on that question, since I doubt that they check.
“Based on the current regulatory environment,” CVS said it’s offering COVID-19 vaccinations in the following states: Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Alabama is more lax about it than New York? What the hell?
On Friday, NY Governor Hochul signed an order that removes the prescription requirement for COVID vaccines. It came out right after my doctor sent the prescription in. It may take a bit for the change to filter through our fucked healthcare system, of course.

Only for 30 days, it looks like. Everyone in New York get it while it’s easier to do so!
