LINCOLN, Nebraska (KOLN) – Walmart pharmacies will begin administering COVID-19 vaccines in Nebraska through the US Federal Retail Pharmacy Program on Friday. Qualified customers can schedule a vaccine appointment through the Walmart website as soon as the appointments are available and for the duration of the distribution.
Vaccines will be available to those who meet the current Nebraska vaccine eligibility phase, which can be found on the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services website. More than 1,000 pharmacies at Walmart and Sam’s Club in 22 states are receiving federal vaccines this week, with an emphasis on locations that reach customers in underserved communities with limited access to healthcare. Although the initial supply of vaccines is limited, pharmacists and technicians at Walmart and Sam’s Club are ready to help expand access to the vaccine across the country.
Walmart pharmacies in Lincoln and Omaha are not among the locations offering the COVID-19 vaccines.
