Pop-up vaccine clinic coming to Orlando Walmart - WKMG News 6 & ClickOrlando

ORLANDO, Fla. – Walmart will begin offering pop-up vaccine clinics in the parking lots of three Florida locations Thursday, including one store in Orlando.

The location at 3101 W. Princeton St. in Orlando will be the only Central Florida Walmart to feature one of these pop-up clinics, according to a Walmart spokesperson.

The vaccinations at this clinic are only available to persons 65 and older health care personnel with direct patient contact and residents and staff of long-term care facilities.

These pop-up clinics, offering the Pfizer vaccine, will be in addition to the vaccines being offered inside the stores, which offer the Moderna vaccine, the company said. The shots at the pop-up clinic are being made available through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program.

“We have two goals as we administer vaccines: first, to get as many shots in eligible arms as possible so we can start the process of reopening our country, and second, ensuring equitable vaccine access across the communities we serve,” said Dr. Cheryl Pegus, Walmart’s Executive Vice President, Health & Wellness, in a news release.

Walmart did not offer an exact timeframe for how long these pop-up vaccine sites would stick around; however, the news release did say “these events will take place over the next several weeks as allocation allows.”
