They're approved. Anyone can get one with a prescription. At least, once they're distributed to doctors offices.
They aren’t. Please read the last few pages, or a reputable news source.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the next round of COVID-19 vaccines Wednesday, but imposed new restrictions on who's eligible to get them.

Right. As the article says, people can get a prescription for the vaccine from their doctor. It might be "off-label," but off-label prescriptions are very common.
Separately, you might need to have it administered at a doctor's office, due to regulations on pharmacists in some states.
But full FDA approval means anyone can get these.
No, they need ACIP to make the final approval. They are gone. They used to post the meeting agenda, open up comments, and broadcast the meeting with public able to make live comments before making the final approval. It was a great system.
No, they don't. Read the articles again. State regulations would allow ACIP-recommended vaccines to be administered by pharmacists without prescriptions, but it does not affect doctors prescribing and administering vaccines.
What are you talking about? State regulations all differ. CVS stopped offering Covid vaccinations in 16 states already. My Maryland ped practice said they don’t know if they will be able to offer Covid vaccines this fall if ACIP doesn’t make the recommendation.
The articles explain this. It's odd you're so concerned yet so unwilling to read the full articles.
They have FDA approval. The new vaccines are still being distributed, but the old vaccines have already been removed from distribution. Depending on the state, pharmacists may be to prescribe and administer them, or they may be able to administer them with a doctor's prescription. In some cases, you might need to have a doctor's office administer them. But FDA approval means you would be able to get them.
This is still a big barrier for some people. Doctors offices also don’t want to waste their appointments for this vaccine which should be able to be given elsewhere.
My primary care and all specialists have never stocked or given the Covid vaccine. My doctor told me once that it wasn't profitable at all for them to give out and takes up too much time. Same with the flu shot. They always just say to go to the pharmacy/grocery store.
I have a friend who is a CVS pharmacist in New York and as of this week people need to show a doctor’s prescription when they come in for a vax and that their vaccinations are down. For a lot of people, they barely find time to come in for an annual shot, getting to the doctor first to get a prescription is a big barrier.

Sounds like they either don't think it's important or that they don't care about your health.
No, it’s just time consuming and COVID vax is expensive. I messaged my doctor and she said she is booked for months and doesn’t know how to squeeze us in for vaccine. She’s getting back to me soon bc it is a very important priority. She said there is also plan within state legislation to change the rules to snub RFK.

11:58 here. Why do I care? I am 75 and would like risk of severe illness or hospitalization from covid as low as possible. I choose vaccines as part of my risk mitigation.
You young'uns and kids well you have a different calculus.
Us old'uns looks like we will be trying to MAHA by thinning the herd by culling the old. Well I am old and I vote.

States are stepping up for their citizens and snubbing RFK!
34 states currently allow pharmacists to give covid vaccines to those eligible under FDA guidelines.
16 locales require FDA and CDC. Of those 13 want prescriptions too. DC and VA are among those. 🤬
This is politics given CDC lagging on guidance if it ever comes.
Maryland is one of the 34.

Not true. It's just not cost effective or wasn't given the plethora of pharmacies and clinics that used to do the vaccines. The covid vaccines historically were harder to store, the new Moderna mNEXSPIKE has an advantage in that regard. I never would have wanted to pay doctors immunization clinic for my service charge to get a free covid shot. YMMV in more rural areas.

Same here re: the COVID vaccine. If I happen to be at the doctor’s office at the right time, I might get a flu shot but usually I get it at the grocery store when they announce it while I’m shopping.
My doctor’s office and my kids’ pediatrician have not even mentioned the COVID vaccine over the past five years.
