CVS on Thursday launched its online registration portal for the COVID-19 vaccine, opening up appointment times in select states and Puerto Rico.
The chain will be offering the vaccines beginning Friday. You must qualify under the eligibility guidelines for your state to get the vaccine. There are links to state guidelines on the CVS site.
According to CVS, they will be scheduling 250,000 doses of the vaccine. Check the CVS website for the states and territories where the vaccine is available.
You can schedule an appointment at CVS.com and on the CVS app beginning Thursday. Click on CVS.com and follow the prompts to get to COVID-19 scheduling.
Because demand is heavy, appointments for the first round may be all booked. CVS suggests returning to the website frequently to check for available appointments.
