Now that most people who are enthusiastic about getting vaccinated against COVID-19 have already received a shot, CVS is focusing on vaccinating the “part of the population that says, ‘I’m only going to get it if it’s easy and convenient and if I happen to be in a place where I can get it,'” Ms. Lynch told the Journal.

To reach that population, CVS, as well as rival Walgreens, have begun offering same-day and walk-in vaccine appointments to increase uptake.

CVS has administered more than 17 million COVID-19 vaccine doses. Vaccines are available at more than 8,300 U.S. locations.
