"Walgreens was one of the first pharmacies to begin administering COVID-19 vaccinations in December to long-term care facility staff and residents, and we look forward to leveraging our experience to support the federal government and CDC in expanding access to these vaccines," John Standley, Walgreens president, said in a statement. In total, this means that the company is now offering COVID-19 vaccinations in 21 states and Puerto Rico. The company was already assisting with the administration of COVID-19 vaccines to eligible people across several states and jurisdictions including: Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Chicago, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Puerto Rico, South Carolina and Texas. Shots may currently be limited to health care workers, people aged 65 and older, or individuals with pre-existing medical conditions depending on the location. Walgreens stores that will receive vaccines as part of the program were chosen based on their proximity to "socially vulnerable and medically underserved areas," according to the company.Įligibility is currently defined by the states and territories.
