The companies announced Monday that they would deliver prescriptions for Paxlovid through Walgreens for free. The partnership is part of the White House's efforts to respond to the swine flu.
The partnership between the two companies will help Americans recover from the Pandemic and make healthcare more accessible.
The risk of death from covid is reduced by Paxlovid. Getting the pills quickly is important since it takes a few days for symptoms to be most effective.
The initiative will launch in the coming weeks and will be available to people living in communities that are socially vulnerable.
The White House believes the program will improve access. The CDC found that people in vulnerable neighborhoods are less likely to get the drugs. The program still requires people to see a doctor, make sure the prescription is filled by Walgreens, and then navigate either the website or app to get the drug.
