Frequently Asked Questions about Walmart Vaccine

When I enter my zip code in the programmer, no stores appear. Why this? We are launching the vaccine to select stores because they are approved by state and federal governments, and your local stores have not yet been selected for vaccine administration. The locations are set by the state and the federal government to administer to certain populations, as set by the state. The availability of vaccines will continue to change, so we appreciate your patience and please continue to check again.

Do I need a doctor’s recommendation?

No, but you must meet the state’s eligibility guidelines. Check with the state health department to see if you qualify for the vaccine.
