Walmart intends to offer COVID vaccination on a seven-day per week basis at all pharmacies.  In anticipation of the initiative, pharmacists and technicians are undergoing training.  The company is establishing a digital appointment and database for first and second vaccinations.

Dr. Cheryl Pegus, Executive Vice President for Heatlh and Wellness stated, "at full capacity we expect we will be able to deliver 10-13 million doses per month when supply and allocations allow". 

Walmart and Sam's Club pharmacies have 5,000 locations serving 150 million customers per week.  Approximately 90 percent of the U.S. population lives within ten miles of a Walmart store representing a significant potential resource for the vaccination campaign.  It is anticipated that Walmart will administer the Moderna vaccine although freezers are present in pharmacies and the company is equipped to handle dry ice storage required for the Pfizer vaccine.
