Vaccinations to be administered at on-site and off-site locations in 18 states
Over the next few weeks, Walmart plans to hold COVID-19 vaccination events at 43 locations in 18 states, particularly in communities with limited access to health care services.
Walmart said on Thursday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is allocating vaccine doses for the project, launched in partnership with local community leaders and nonprofit organizations.
Coronavirus vaccine administration sites will include drive-thru locations in store parking lots, in-store areas and off-site venues, the Bentonville, Ark.-based retail giant said. The off-site locations will be operated in tandem with community groups, such as Casa del Inmigrante/Immigrant Home Foundation, a nonprofit serving immigrants in Las Vegas; the Indianapolis Urban League in Indiana; and the Jackson Housing Authority and Wishrock at the Golden Key Envision Center in Jackson, Miss.

JACKSON, Tenn. Last year, the Jackson-Madison County Library partnered with Jackson Housing Authority to provide Lincoln Courts WiFi in their community rooms.
Now, they’re working together again to encourage reading in the complex by building a “Little Free Library” in the community room at Lincoln Courts.
Library director Dinah Harris says Lincoln Courts residents can go to the community room and bring a book to drop off to share with others.
“Pick something off your shelf you didn’t enjoy as much and see if someone else will enjoy it,” Harris said.
Or, you can pick a book from the Little Free Library to take home to read.
