Walgreens Offering COVID-19 Vaccination,

Walgreens is offering Covid-19 vaccines in store at select locations but you would be asked to sign up for an online account and go through a pre-screening process.
The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott is in talks with two large pharmacy chains, CVS, and Walgreen. They have held several meetings about taking an approach on vaccine distribution across the state of Texas.
Working together as a team, along side with the federal government, they are working on efforts to get the vaccine to those who are the most vulnerably, adding to the top of the list, is the elderly.
Many on this list have been getting vaccinated by the two pharmacy chains, however not in-store in Texas.
“Walgreens had administered more than 1 milling COVID-19 vaccinations across long-term care facilities and other vulnerable populations identified as part of state and jurisdiction distribution plans. The company also remains on track to complete the administration of COVID-19 vaccine first doses in skilled nursing facilities by Monday, Jan 25th,” the company said in a press release.
Walgreens has started to offer the ability to take the vaccine in store at some locations across the country. However, it is not as easy as just walking in and getting a flu shot. Vaccine doses are still in low supply across the nation and like will be through the spring season.
Walgreens said to follow the advice from public officials, the only individuals for the vaccine are those 16 years of age and older and meet certain state-specific eligibility criteria.
Note: At this time, there is no guarantee of how many doses/appointments are available and at which Walgreens pharmacy location across the state of Texas or the rest of the U.S. that would be administered.
