CVS Health will join the list of pharmacies administering COVID-19 vaccines in Minnesota beginning Sunday.
CVS said Thursday that select locations, including ones in Hennepin, St. Louis and Olmsted counties, will join the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program. CVS joins Hy-Vee, Walmart and Walgreens as Minnesota participants in the federal program.
Appointments for the locations will open for booking on Saturday as stores receive shipments of vaccine, CVS said.
