Walgreens/CVS To Work With Government To Release COVID Vaccine When Ready

Walgreens and CVS are working with the Federal Government in an effort to supply the coronavirus vaccine, once one is approved, directly to long-term care facilities like nursing homes.

According to a release, Deputy Chief of staff for the Health and Human Services Department Paul Mango called the two major drug chains “The best place to send the mobile units” in order to vaccinate seniors and other vulnerable people.

The vaccinations are a voluntary program for every nursing home and it will be left up to the drugstore chains to determine the best way to deliver and store these vaccines, as well as how to collect fees in order to keep the vaccines free of charge.
