CVS pharmacies at 342 Virginia locations now accepting walk-in COVID-19 appointments

CVS Health announced on Wednesday, May 5, that it is now accepting walk-in COVID-19 appointments at CVS Pharmacy sites across the country, including 342 locations in Virginia, with no appointment necessary.

Same-day scheduling, including appointments as soon as one hour from time of scheduling, is also available at CVS.com. The company’s COVID-19 vaccine scheduler is updated throughout the day to account for same-day cancellations.

As of May 5, CVS Health said in a news release that is now vaccinating in 8,300+ stores across 49 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., and has surpassed 17 million COVID-19 vaccine doses administered through its participation in the Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program and Federal Retail Pharmacy Program. Second dose compliance is more than 90 percent at CVS Health locations, according to the news release.

Karen S. Lynch, CVS Health President and CEO, was quoted as saying, “We continue to orchestrate an all-out effort to vaccinate the nation against COVID-19. Thanks to the dedication and effort of our colleagues, I am proud to say we helped achieve the President’s accelerated 100-day goal of 200 million vaccines and have administered over 17 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to date. Our customers continue to give us high satisfaction scores based on their interactions with colleagues and our customer-centric digital approach for scheduling appointments.”
