CVS is expanding its program as each state works to vaccinate eligible populations across the country. The drugstore chain will also begin to administer the vaccine in 10 other states, including California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Virginia.

Previously, CVS administered vaccines only to residents and employees of long-term care institutions.

Appointments are likely to be limited. Supply is limited in the state, according to the press release, and CVS has secured a total of 38,000 doses for Texas pharmacies.
