Workers Needed to Assist With Covid-19 Vaccine Distribution

With news of a publicly available approved Covid-19 vaccine, jobs have been created as a result. 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 is 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."
