Walgreens, CVS say they’re on track
with Covid vaccines at nursing home
Melissa Repko and Will Feuer

Walgreens and CVS Health said they are on schedule
for giving Covid vaccinations to residents and staff at
thousands of nursing homes and other long-term care
facilities across the U.S. They said they expect to
complete the first round of vaccines by Jan. 25.

The two pharmacy chains were tapped by the government
to administer the vaccines at the facilities, which have been
especially hard-hit by coronavirus outbreaks and deaths.
Vaccines at the nursing homes began in mid-December
and are have expanded to every state except West Virginia,
which did not opt in to the federal program.

With their recent updates, the companies offered a bright
spot for a vaccine rollout that has been slower than federal
officials and public health officials anticipated. The U.S. has
distributed just over 17 million doses, and 4.8 million
people have been given their first shot as of Tuesday.
