Red Deer couple first to receive COVID vaccine at Walmart pharmacy
A couple from Red Deer recently became the first people in Canada to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at a Walmart pharmacy.
Joseph and Grace Brown received the vaccine from pharmacist Shaimaa Ali last week at the Red Deer North Walmart Supercentre at Parkland Mall.
“This is a milestone, not only for every pharmacist, but for everyone who is involved in the development and delivery of the COVID-19 vaccine,” said Ali.
“We are ready to help get Canadians immunized against COVID-19,” said Shelly Kiroff, Senior Vice President, Health and Wellness, Walmart Canada. “We have an enormous sense of pride to be part of the vaccine rollout. I’m proud that Canadians come to Walmart for all their health, wellness and pharmacy needs and now we’re ready to support them with COVID-19 vaccines, too.”
