Pharmacies Will Administer COVID-19 Vaccines at Long-Term Care Facilities

As part of the US government's Operation Warp Speed (OWS) effort, long-term care facilities will be able to sign up to have a major U.S. pharmacy company come to their facilities and administer COVID-19 vaccines to residents at no charge. OWS named Walgreens and CVS on October 16, 2020, as nationwide partners in the effort.

Long-term care facilities will be able to sign up to have either CVS or Walgreens come to their locations to administer COVID-19 vaccinations to residents and staff. This OWS program is free of charge to facilities and is opt-in only.
