In addition toareas that it already distributes a CVIV-19 vaccine inAs of February 12, Walmart will offer one of the states out of 22 as part of the US Federal Retail Pharmacy Program.

The grocery chain has partnered with disease control and prevention centers (CDC) and state governments to determine the best locations to be included. More than 1,000 Walmart and SAM clubs were examined on the basis of "population density, customer demography, infection rates and availability of local health care resources," according toA POST on the Walmart's website. Also considered are poorly served areas, such as Brewton, Ala., Where there is no place to administer the vaccine for more than 100 miles, except at the local Walmart.
