Frequently asked questions about the Walmart vaccine

When I enter my zip code into the scheduler, no stores appear. Why is that? We are deploying the vaccine to select stores, as they are approved by state and federal governments, and your local stores may not yet have been selected for administration. Locations are determined by the state and federal government to administer them to specific populations, as determined by the state. Vaccine availability will continue to change, so thank you for your patience, and please check again.

Do I need medical referral?

Announcements

No, but you must meet the state eligibility guidelines. Check with your state health department to see if they meet the requirements for the vaccine.
