Walmart Canada hosts first-ever “Vax-a-thon”
To celebrate, on August 19th Walmart is hosting its first-ever “Vax-a-thon” – a one-day vaccine blitz at more than 250 pharmacies from coast-to-coast. Pharmacists will set up at the front of stores to speak with customers and educate them about the effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccines. Customers who would like to receive a COVID-19 vaccine during the Vax-a-thon event can do so on the spot in participating pharmacies with no appointment necessary.
