CVS and Walmart are both cutting pharmacy hours and closing some locations earlier due to staffing shortages.
Both companies have announced that they will scale back hours at their pharmacies as the industry battles a shortage of pharmacists and other key positions starting in March. CVS is adjusting hours at about two-thirds of its retail pharmacies.
In a statement, the Rhode Island-based company said it periodically conducts reviews to ensure pharmacies are open during peak customer demand.
Walmart is planning to reduce pharmacy hours by closing at 7 p.m. instead of 9 at most of its stores in the coming weeks.
