Austin’s Walmart is one of 13 Walmarts and Sam’s Clubs in the State of Minnesota now selling COVID-19 antiviral medications Paxlovid and Molnupiravir in Minnesota through the U.S. Federal Retail Pharmacy Therapeutics Program.
Select Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacies are receiving limited supplies of the COVID-19 antiviral medication. The medication is only available with a prescription from a healthcare provider.
Walmarts in Albert Lea and Rochester are also on the list of stores.
Customers and healthcare providers can go to www.walmart.com/covidmedication and use the store locator to find their nearest store or club that is carrying this medication to send the electronic prescription. Since the COVID-19 antiviral medications are prescribed to those with COVID-19, it will only be available at Walmart and Sam’s Club by curbside pickup or via drive-thru pharmacy windows.
