The program is aimed towards facilities whose residents have been disproportionality impacted by the pandemic.
CVS Pharmacy teams are going to administer the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine across 12 states during the week, and expect to vaccinate up to four million residents and staff.
“Today’s rollout is the culmination of months of internal planning and demonstrates how the private sector can use its expertise to help solve some of our most critical challenges,” said Larry J. Merlo, President, and Chief Executive Officer, CVS Health.
“I’m grateful for the herculean efforts of everyone involved, including our health care professionals who will be deployed throughout the country to bring peace of mind to long-term care facility residents, staff, and their loved ones”, he continued.
