Many pharmacies are waiting until promised doses arrive from the federal government. Author: Galen Ettlin Updated: 5:45 PM PST February 10, 2021
OREGON, USA Despite a federal commitment to send a million COVID-19 vaccine doses to 6,500 pharmacies nationwide this week, many local pharmacies are still unclear about vaccination appointments. Distribution has been shaky at best, NBC News medical correspondent Dr. John Torres told KGW.
Torres hopes the national pharmacy program helps turn that around. However, pharmacies in Oregon and Southwest Washington face some big unknowns.
Albertsons and Safeway are waiting until they receive vaccines to open online appointments. The company said 115 Oregon locations will get about a hundred doses each this week.

Oregonians could be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine at their local pharmacies as soon as next week.
On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced the launch of the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program. It will deliver about a million vaccines directly to about 6,500 pharmacies nationwide to offer to their communities.
Vaccines will be offered at no cost.
Twenty-one national pharmacy chains are participating in the program. Those with Oregon locations include Walgreens, Walmart, Rite-Aid, Fred Meyer, Costco, Health Mart, Albertsons and Safeway, though it’s not certain that all will offer the vaccines in the state.
So far in Oregon, Costco, Fred Meyer, Albertsons and Safeway have said they should soon have the vaccine.
