U.S. drugstore chains led by Walgreens and CVS Health are rolling out an unprecedented early push for Americans to get vaccinated at their pharmacies for the seasonal flu before that virus converges with the Covid-19 pandemic.
Walgreens Monday announced plans to increase flu vaccine supply and staff up its pharmacies as drugstores prepare for what they believe will be an onslaught of customers wanting protection for the seasonal flu while they wait for a vaccine for Covid-19. Marketing and advertising has already begun this summer at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and many other pharmacies and grocers encouraging Americans to get the seasonal flu vaccination ahead of a fall rush.
