Does anyone know details of US fed govt contract w CVS & Walgreens to vaccinate nursing home residents and staff?
Do the companies get paid at actual vaccination, for meeting certain timelines, on a guaranteed contract regardless of vax rate?
How does it work? #COVID19

Y’all are great. Tl;dr - Big pharmacies get vaccine free & responsible for equipment, scheduling, administering & tracking. Paid mostly via insurance just like standard vaccination PLUS $14 extra for dose 1, $28 extra for dose 2. Sounds like no incentives or penalties for speed
But contract details not fully disclosed, it seems. In MS, state considering pulling out bc companies so slow: *1st* doses won’t be finished until MID FEBRUARY! Because they just didn’t hire enough people. Will CVS et al still get paid a minimum if states ends contract early?

HT to @AlexMLeo, who’s collated stories from around the country re: how the #COVID19 rollout is going in nursing homes & longterm care. It varies but generally not great.
