Through their partnership with CVS pharmacy, Target Corporation will offer COVID-19 vaccination in 600 of 1,700 stores. CVS has commenced administering vaccines in 17 states using Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. In a March 10th statement, Target noted that they have administered influenza, shingles and pneumonia vaccines through CVS pharmacies over many years. With extended availability of COVID vaccines, the Company will be able to offer COVID vaccines in accordance with state and federal guidelines.
Target is supporting the Health Action Alliance and the efforts of the Ad Council to reach minority communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Target and Shipt employees and personal shoppers have been incentivized by receiving four hours of pay for a two-vaccine series with reimbursement for transport to and from vaccine centers.
