WOONSOCKET, R.I. – CVS Pharmacy is changing its Covid vaccination efforts, as the U.S. looks to drive cases downward.
The company announced May 5 that its locations offering vaccinations will now accept walk-ins. Several Cape May County locations, including Wildwood, Sea Isle City, Marmora, Villas and Ocean City, are offering vaccinations, as of May 6.
