CVS Health is aiming to increase access to flu vaccines in communities of need. The company is supporting a nearly $3 million commitment to increasing access to flu vaccines for underserved communities throughout the country.
Through its Project Health initiative, CVS Health is contributing $2 million to the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics to help distribute flu vaccines to those who may otherwise not have access. Additionally, the company is working with Bank of America and General Motors to support increased access to flu vaccines in even more communities nationwide.
"Underserved communities have been hit particularly hard by COVID-19, so supporting flu prevention in these communities is even more important," said Eileen Howard Boone, senior vice president of corporate social responsibility and philanthropy, at CVS Health. "Through our work with Free Clinics, and in teaming up with Bank of America and General Motors, we aim to expand our reach to individuals who may not otherwise have access to flu vaccines."
