On Wednesday, September 10, Governor Matt Meyer and the Delaware Division of Public Health issued a standing order on COVID-19 vaccine eligibility and are calling on the Board of Pharmacy to convene an emergency meeting to protect vaccine access.
“Vaccines save lives. Science, not politics, will guide how we keep our communities safe,” said Governor Matt Meyer. “With this standing order and our partnership with neighboring states, we are taking control of our future, ensuring that every Delawarean has access to the protection they need.”
The standing order refers to recommendations from other relevant professional organizations to determine eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine. It requests that the Board ensure continued access to the COVID-19 vaccine for all Delawareans aged six months and older, regardless of any high-risk conditions.
