LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — CVS told FOX5 its Nevada locations are now administering new COVID-19 vaccines after awaiting CDC’s approval, officials say.
CVS said it stopped distributing the old formula for COVID-19 late August in Nevada, Massachusetts and New Mexico. A spokesperson clarified that Nevada pharmacy laws prevented them from distributing vaccines in the state without approval from the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

After about a week of delay, CVS said it started providing COVID-19 vaccines Saturday. The FDA says the new vaccines are available for use for people who are 65 years or older.
The Southern Nevada Health District also stopped administering the old formula after new guidance from the CDC.
