LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A local Lincoln pharmacy is the first in the area to receive the COVID-19 vaccine through a Whitehouse-led operation, the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program.
According to the CDC, locations in Nebraska, including several Walmarts, are participating in the program to ramp up vaccinations nationwide.
“We’re just so happy to be part of the solution and be able to bring some joy back to these people, our people,” says RelyCare Pharmacy CEO Steve Osenbaugh.
The pharmacy, located near N. 65th and Cotner Blvd, is the first in the area to receive an allotment through the federal program. They were also part of Phase 1A, where they administered vaccines to long term care facilities.
