More Walmart Stores Nationwide Approved To Distribute Vaccine, Three Locally - NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

A handful of Walmart stores in Texas have been approved to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine.

In a statement from the company sent to NBC 5, Walmart announced more of their stores across the country will be able to distribute the vaccine, including three stores in North Texas.

Store #284 - Mansfield at 930 N. Walnut Creek Drive Ste. 800
Store #471 - Lancaster at 150 N. Interstate 35E
Store #265 - Terrell at 1900 W. Moore Avenue

Walmart and Sam's Club will be working to set up an online system where people can register for the vaccine. A system is not currently in place, according to the company.

Only those eligible under state guidelines would be able to receive the vaccine. Currently, Texas only allows for those in groups 1A and 1B to be vaccinated, which includes frontline health care workers, first responders, those 65 and older or people with at least one chronic health condition.

In Texas, allocations of vaccines are determined by officials with the Texas Department of State Health Services. Each week DSHS determines how many vaccines each provider receives.

About 150 Walmart and Sam's Club stores nationwide are now approved to distribute the vaccine, the company said in a statement.
