CVS, Walgreens Limit COVID Vaccines in Some States as Rules Shift

CVS and Walgreens comply with new state laws and CDC guidelines, limiting COVID-19 vaccine availability and eligibility in 16 states, affecting children under 5 especially, health officials said.

  • On September 2, 2025, CVS and Walgreens announced they will limit COVID-19 vaccine availability in certain states as they adjust to new rules.
  • These changes follow FDA decisions that updated vaccine authorizations and limited eligibility, creating different access rules across states.

  • The FDA authorized four updated vaccines for seniors and younger people with health conditions, while the CDC advises parents to consult doctors about vaccinating children.
  • These adjustments imply vaccine access will vary by state, potentially complicating patient decisions amid differing guidance from health authorities.
