SACHA PFEIFFER, HOST:
Retail pharmacies have been a crucial part of the country's rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. But new reporting from Kaiser Health News finds that the majority of wasted vaccines in the U.S. comes from two big pharmacy chains, CVS and Walgreens. The findings are based on CDC data and show that those two companies are responsible for more wasted vaccines than federal, state and local government agencies combined.
Here to talk about this is reporter Joshua Eaton. He co-wrote the story with Rachana Pradhan for Kaiser Health News. Joshua, welcome.
JOSHUA EATON: Thank you for having me.
