Walmart launches store locator to help
customers find the nearest store or club with availability
Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacies are ready to receive and
dispense the FDA authorized COVID-19 antiviral medications,
Paxlovid and Molnupiravir, this week as supplies allow.
The medication will only be available at certain Walmart and
Sam’s Club locations in a limited number of states until more
supply is available. The medication is only available with a
prescription from a health care provider. Customers and health care
providers can go to www.walmart.com/covidmedication and use the
store locator to find their nearest store or club that is carrying
this medication to send the electronic prescription. Since the
COVID-19 antiviral medications are prescribed to those with
COVID-19, it will only be available at Walmart and Sam’s Club by
curbside pickup or via drive-through pharmacy windows.
Walmart worked closely with the federal government and state
health departments to select locations where states determined the
treatment was needed most. While initial medication supply is
limited, Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacies stand ready to help
expand treatment access nationwide.
“We are committed to working with our state and federal partners
to provide access to new treatment options like authorized COVID-19
antiviral medications, as they become available,” said Kevin Host,
senior vice president of pharmacy. “This medication offers
customers the option to recover at home and helps reduce the burden
on our hospitals and communities. As we have since the beginning of
the pandemic, we’re proud to support our communities through
everyday essentials, healthy food, vaccines, medication and other
health care needs as we all work together to weather the
pandemic.”
