Walgreens Introducing Mobile Clinics for Covid-19 Vaccine

By Michael Dabaie

Walgreens said Monday it will activate multiple mobile clinics in Chicago, following the success of more than 700 vaccination clinics across the country hosted mainly at churches and community centers.

The traveling mobile clinics will focus on bringing Covid-19 vaccines to underserved communities and those with barriers to accessing the vaccine.

Over the next two months, additional mobile clinics will make stops in locations across the country, Walgreens said.

Walgreens said it has administered more than 15 million Covid-19 vaccines to date.

Walgreens Boots Alliance shares were up 1.7% to $54.01 in morning trading.
