Walmart exec says supply-demand dynamic of vaccine rollout could soon shift
HOUSTON โ A Walmart executive said Wednesday that the dynamic of demand outpacing supply of the coronavirus vaccine could soon shift. Dan Bartlett, Walmartโs executive vice president, said there are about 3,000 stores across the country that are offering COVID-19 shots with as many as 80,000 vaccines being administered on peak days. He said that could grow to nearly 13 million doses per week as vaccine supplies increase. โThe supply is not keeping up with demand,โ Bartlett said. โThatโs going to flip relatively quickly, where weโre going to have, the supply is going to be ample, and then itโs going to be about demand.โBartlett said that Walmart will consider putting the vaccines in more stores as supplies increase.
