- Abstract:
- Retail pharmacies will play a significant role in the public distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. On February 2, 2021 the White House announced the launch of the first phase of the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program for COVID-19 Vaccination. The "public-private partnership with 21 national pharmacy partners and networks of independent pharmacies" is designed to "expand equitable access to vaccines". Since 2007 the RUPRI Center has tracked pharmacy closures and the availability of pharmacy services in rural areas. This brief explores the availability of rural pharmacies that might be able to provide vaccination services.
