Portland pharmacies slow to start walk-in COVID-19 vaccinations
Despite President Biden s push for pharmacies to offer vaccinations without appointments, not many were available Friday in the Portland area. Author: Pat Dooris Updated: 5:52 PM PDT May 7, 2021
PORTLAND, Oregon This week, President Joe Biden directed all pharmacies that accept federal supplies of COVID-19 vaccines to allow people to get a shot without an appointment, but a check of pharmacies in the Portland area Friday found few available.
Pat Dooris checked several chains in northeast Portland. Walgreens, CVS and Fred Meyer all did not have walk-up appointments available, but the Fred Meyer pharmacy did have an extra dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine available. Some locations offered to add names to a waitlist.
Statistics show more residents vaccinated, for some age groups, than are living in the county
