    For those wondering about Walgreens:

    Walgreens, the nation’s second largest pharmacy chain, did not respond to requests for comment about the availability of Covid shots at its stores. But when a New York Times reporter tried to schedule vaccine appointments in all 50 states, the pharmacy’s website said patients would need a prescription in 16.

    Vaccine appointments also appeared unavailable at Walgreens in many states. That may, in part, reflect a supply issue, doctors said. But Walgreens’ note that patients need prescriptions in some states could signal confusion among pharmacists over whom they’re allowed to vaccinate.
