President Donald Trump’s administration secured a deal with CVS and Walgreens to distribute and administer a COVID-19 vaccine for free to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, the administration announced on Friday.
The deal relieves pressure on health departments and means residents and staff members at the facilities will be able to safely and efficiently get vaccinated once one or more vaccines are approved, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said in a press release.
