Workers needed to assist with Covid-19 vaccine distribution
Many major pharmacies have partnered with the government to be official COVID-19 vaccination program providers.
With news of a publicly available approved Covid-19 vaccine, jobs will undoubtedly be created as a result. In fact, some of those jobs are in demand right now.
CVS and Walgreens, along with other major pharmacies, partnered with the government to be official COVID-19 vaccination program providers. This program covers approximately 60% of pharmacies throughout the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. That means additional staff will be needed to provide the millions of vaccinations. In an email to its customers, CVS noted, “We are urgently hiring thousands of qualified pharmacists, nurses and pharmacy technicians to help administer COVID-19 vaccines when available to pharmacies.”
