The nation’s largest retail pharmacy chain now plans to offer the updated COVID vaccine in Nevada, the Current confirmed Friday.
CVS confirmed the Nevada Board of Pharmacy issued new guidance Friday and as a result the vaccines will be made available, though they offered no timeline on when people can expect to receive them.
“Following today’s regulatory action by the Nevada Board of Pharmacy, CVS Pharmacy will ensure COVID-19 vaccinations are available as soon as possible at our pharmacies throughout the state,” a company spokesperson said in an emailed statement Friday.
That panel has not approved this season’s COVID vaccine and now includes vaccine skeptics appointed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Joe Lombardo’s office has not responded to the Current’s questions about the COVID vaccine being unavailable in the state and whether he has confidence in future recommendations from the CDC and ACIP.
