Walmart and Sam's Club will begin offering the COVID-19 vaccine at select locations in North Texas, the company announced.
These vaccines will be available to people currently eligible for the vaccine under the state's designations, a Walmart representative said.

Currently, the company says it is offering the vaccine at 150 locations across a dozen states or territories.
That includes Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington, D.C.
These are the six North Texas locations set to receive vaccine allocations and their expected start dates:

How to sign up for a vaccine appointment

A Walmart representative said the situation is constantly evolving, so people should check back to see if more appointments or locations are available.
