Walmart Inc.'s U.K. business Asda Group Ltd. said Wednesday that
it will start providing in-store Covid-19 vaccinations at one of
its stores in Birmingham, England, from Jan. 25, with the potential
for expansion to further locations.
The British supermarket, whose sale to private equity firm TDR
Capital LLP and the billionaire Issa brothers is scheduled for
completion in the first half of this year, said the National Health
Service England selected one of Asda's pharmacies in Birmingham to
operate a vaccination center.
"The site is the first Asda pharmacy to be approved to support
the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine program and Asda is continuing to work
with Public Health England and NHS England to assess other sites
within its estate that could support this program," Asda said.
