CVS and other pharmacies get their vaccines through a federal government program. The first phase of the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program begins this week when vaccines were shipped directly to some pharmacies in addition to state allocations.
The program will start with about 1 million doses per week that will go to 6,500 retail pharmacies. The figures will eventually increase to 40,000 drug stores.
The program includes 21 national pharmacy partners and independent pharmacy networks. Partners include Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, Walmart, Kroger, Rite Aid, Costco and more. See a full list here.
The CVS locations in California are participating in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout by appointment only. This list is expected to change based on availability.
