Frequently Asked Questions About Walmart Vaccine
When I enter my zip code in the planner, no stores appear. Why is this? We are rolling out the vaccine in select stores as they are state and federal approved, and your local stores may not yet be selected to administer the vaccine. The locations are determined by the state and federal government to manage for specific populations as determined by the state. Vaccine availability will continue to change so we appreciate your patience and please come back.
Do I need a doctor’s reference?
