Washington Post

19 March 2018 - Pharmacy-retail giant CVS announced on Friday that it will now carry the shingles vaccine Shingrix in all 9,800 of its locations, with many insurance providers covering the preventive treatment recommended for adults age 50 and older, the company said in a statement.

Yet, CVS stores in one state, Florida, won’t carry the vaccine because of state regulations, the company announced.

Shingles is a painful rash appearing on either the face or torso that can cause intense pain and burning sensation, lasting between seven and 10 days and taking two to four weeks to clear up, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
