CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Pharmacies like CVS say some people in Virginia Department of Healthâs Phase 1b may be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in the commonwealth, but not at one of their pharmacies.
However, CVS says it works with state and federal officials to set eligibility requirements, and is working with VDH to expand to all groups in Phase 1b.
An official with the health department says Virginia asked CVS to prioritize people on its wait list and those 65 and older, K-12 teachers and daycare and preschool workers.
