  • Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination for General Public Program Summary of Program for Jurisdictions
    December 2, 2020 Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination for General Public Program Summary of Program for Jurisdictions The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are partnering with pharmacies to increase access to COVID-19 vaccine once one or more vaccines are authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States. There are two federal pharmacy programs: The Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program and the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination. Through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination, retail pharmacy partners can help jurisdictions augment access to vaccine when supply increases and vaccine is recommended beyond the initial populations. With more than 90% of people in the United States living within five miles of a pharmacy, pharmacies have unique reach and ability to provide access to COVID-19 vaccine and support broad vaccination efforts. This program will provide critical vaccination services for the U.S. population, with vaccine administered at store locations at no cost to recipients. The program will be implemented in close coordination with jurisdictions to ensure optimal COVID-19 vaccination coverage and vaccine access nationwide. Program activation will be on a national scale, with select pharmacy partners receiving a direct allocation of COVID- 19 vaccine. Timing and scale of activation (how many partners, how many stores) will depend on various factors, including supply. The federal retail pharmacy program does not include every pharmacy in the United States. Pharmacies not included in the federal program will need to coordinate with their jurisdictions to become COVID- 19 vaccination providers.
