The type of vaccine — Moderna or Pfizer — will vary by state.

Scheduling an appointment at local locations is not yet available, but Walmart said on its website that select pharmacies in 22 states are working with the federal government to help increase access to COVID-19 vaccines once doses are available, starting Thursday, Feb. 11.

“The beginning phase of the program is designed to engage the system in a limited way to ensure the infrastructure is ready for large scale implementation when vaccine supply increases,” Walmart’s website states.

Walmart is receiving allocation from the federal government and some state governments, but supply is still limited. Appointments will be schedules based on how many doses are received. Appointments will increase once additional doses become available.
