Drugstores are ready to deliver COVID-19 vaccines this fall, and insurers plan to cover them, despite the shots no longer being recommended by a key government committee. Vaccine advisers selected by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have declined to specifically recommend the shots in a series of votes, but said people could make individual decisions on whether to receive them. Recommendations from these advisers normally trigger insurance coverage and allow drugstores in many states to deliver the shots. But insurers and government officials have said coverage will continue. Several states have allowed for vaccine access through drugstores.
