CVS has begun administering
COVID-19 vaccines today, but after opening up appointments across stores
Thursday around New Jersey, it took only an hour for all the slots to be
booked.
According to the company,
they received 25,000 doses, which they will continue to receive weekly from the
federal government.
If you missed getting an
appointment this time around, Christina Cacchioli, of the CVS COVID
Task Force, has some advice.
"As the vaccine
shipments are received by the stores, then that's when the next allocation of
appointments or allotment of appointments will open up on the website, so I
would just say check frequently,” says Cacchioli.
CVS says there’s not a
certain day or time to check, and the number of doses sent to stores will vary
depending on the store's capability to administer the vaccine.
Walk-ins are
still not allowed.
