Walmart and its subsidiary Sam's Club will provide COVID-19 vaccinations to anyone who walks in or schedules an appointment at their pharmacy locations across the U.S.
More than two dozen of the stores are located in the Bay Area.
Vaccine supplies have surged even as eligibility has widened to people 16 and older.
"Widespread vaccination is the only way we will eventually end the pandemic and help our country reopen, and we don't want anyone to get left behind as we enter this new chapter in our fight against COVID-19," said Dr. Cheryl Pegus, who oversees Walmart's health and wellness unit. She said the company should prioritize distributing the vaccine to underserved and vulnerable populations.
