CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and More to Begin Delivering Covid-19 Vaccines

A new federal effort to speed up vaccinations will allow thousands of pharmacies to give the shot nationwide.
Mega sites around the country continue to administer the covid-19 vaccine to eligible Americans but now preparations are underway for pharmacies to do the same. At some CVS locations, vaccination appointments can be scheduled starting today at about 350 stores across 11 states, including South Carolina. Then appointments will begin tomorrow. For Walgreens, they will also begin vaccinations tomorrow in 17 states, one of which is North Carolina. Like most places, wait times could be significant. Walgreens has also announced a partnership with Uber in order to provide free or discounted rides to appointments for up to 10 million Americans. “Access to Ride” appointments will be provided when the vaccination is scheduled. Other pharmacies chosen to deliver vaccines at certain locations include Walmart, Rite Aid, Kroger, Publix, Costco, and Albertsons among others. Walmart has already begun the process in Florida.
