Vaccine covid19.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published a list of retail stores and pharmacies that will distribute COVID-19 vaccines, making the process of obtaining a vaccine much easier for the general public. These locations will still need to comply with state guidelines for triage and who is eligible to receive a vaccine.

Here is the CDC list. Keep in mind that being on this list does not mean that a retail store has vaccines now.

More details about the vaccine distribution
According to the CDC, the list above is for retail pharmacies that participate in the federal program and cannot include state program partners. The exact participating stores may vary from county to county or from state to state. The stores listed above can start participating in the program on February 8.
For CVS, for example, you will need to register on the retail store’s website for a meeting and qualify for your state’s priority category. Not all CVS locations will offer COVID-19 vaccines. Those who are will start offering vaccines starting February 11th.
In contrast, the HEB, which is also listed by the CDC, currently notes that it provides vaccinations only to eligible clients who are health care workers, residents of long-term care facilities, age 65 or older, or the age of 18 with chronic diseases. Even if you qualify, many locations may find that there are no places available due to limited supply.
