Dive Brief:
Walmart expects to be able to administer between 10 million and 13 million COVID-19 shots per month at its more than 5,000 in-store pharmacies in the United States and Puerto Rico once it has sufficient access to vaccine supplies, the company said Friday in a blog post.
The retailer said it is especially focused on providing vaccinations in regions where people have limited access to healthcare services and is prepared to work with community organizations to run vaccine clinics outside its stores.
Although Walmart is stepping up its efforts to position itself as a front line resource in the United States effort to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, the retailer noted in the blog post that it is not providing incentives to its workers to get vaccinated, even as a growing number of competitors have said they will do so.
