CVS Health expects to administer fewer vaccines than it originally expected this year, though more people are actively seeking out a first dose as Covid-19 cases climb again.
After seeing vaccination rates peak in April and decline in May and June, the company lowered its guidance for how many vaccines it expects to administer in 2021. It now expects to dole out a total of 32 million to 36 million vaccines, just a little bit more than the 30 million it has already administered. Those numbers assume a limited number of pediatric vaccines, but no booster shots, CFO Shawn Guertin said in a Wednesday earnings call.
