RSV Vaccine Prescription Necessary for Some States

Sena and I were wondering if you need a prescription to get the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine.

It turns out only four states require doctor prescription to get RSV vaccine: Iowa, Georgia, Missouri, and Utah. Washington D.C. is working on making the RSV vaccine available without a prescription.

The Iowa Pharmacy Association blog post about the issue makes it clear a prescription is needed to get the RSV vaccine.
