CVS Pharmacy will begin offering walk-in COVID-19 vaccination appointments immediately. (Rachel Nunes/Patch)
ILLINOIS — CVS Health has joined the growing list of pharmacies to allow walk-in COVID-19 vaccinations. Walgreens, Walmart and Sam's Club are also guaranteeing a same-day appointment to anyone who qualifies.
Walgreens announced on Wednesday they would offer walk-ins at more than 500 stores in Illinois. CVS has availability for same-day appointments at 300 stores, and Walmart and Sam's Club are offering walk-ins at all 175 of their pharmacies in the state.
While there remain barriers to getting vaccinated, retail chains are attempting to mitigate lack of time and public transit with mobile vaccination centers. People who wish to get vaccinated at Sam's Club do not have to have a membership, and people are still welcome to schedule appointments at all four chains.
