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.
