MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Tennessee Department of Health said it is partnering with pharmacies and community health clinics to add more than 100 new vaccination sites across the state.

The new locations include 11 locations of Walmart in Shelby County and eight other pharmacies in West Tennessee. These locations are expected to receive vaccines this week, TDH said.


The new locations are designed to distribute the vaccine equitably across the state. Supplies of the vaccine remain limited and availability varies by county and provider. The providers will handle their own scheduling process, TDH said.

Vaccinations will be free, the state said. Eligibility varies by county. You can check eligibility in your county here.

“These pharmacies and clinics are easily accessible to Tennesseans who have barriers to receiving health care, like lack of transportation or health insurance,” said Dr. Lisa Piercey with TDH. “We’re bringing COVID-19 vaccines to familiar and convenient locations for residents of these communities to receive their vaccinations.”
