16 Birmingham-metro Walmarts are expected to start administering COVID-19 vaccine
Vaccinations begin at Walmart pharmacies in B ham By Chasity Maxie | February 19, 2021 at 7:19 PM CST - Updated February 19 at 7:19 PM
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Birmingham city leaders said more than a dozen Walmarts throughout the city will soon receive COVID-19 vaccines.
Birmingham City Councilman, Hunter Williams, said Walmart made the announcement Tuesday afternoon, that 16 more Walmarts in the Birmingham area would start administering COVID-19 vaccines over the next several weeks.
But there was some confusion about the vaccine roll-out.
Walmart initially announced it would start giving vaccines in the state last Friday. But that was only for 77 of the 144 locations scattered throughout the state. And Birmingham was not on that original list.
