Costco went on to administer COVID-19 vaccines in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino counties

LOS ANGELES (KABC) – Costco is poised to offer COVID-19 vaccines in several states, including California.

Costco stores in Los Angeles County, as well as those in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, are participating in the vaccination program.

“Our pharmacies will administer COVID-19 vaccines as soon as they become available, in accordance with CDC and state guidelines,” the wholesale warehouse said in a statement.

The press release noted that the US gives priority to those at higher risk, including health professionals, adults 65 and older, and other high-risk front-line workers.

The company said it will offer a limited number of COVID-19 vaccines, mostly Moderna.

Across the country, the icy blast across much of the US added confusion and frustration to the country’s COVID-19 vaccination drive this week, just as it got up to speed, snapping vaccine deliveries and the cancellation of countless shots across the country.

The US vaccinates an average of 1.7 million Americans a day against COVID-19, up from less than 1 million a month ago. New figures from the White House show a steady increase in the rate of vaccinations from President Joe Biden’s first month in office.
