CVS Shutting Down All Utah Walk-In “MinuteClinics” by Saturday

CVS is shutting down all of their walk-in MinuteClincs in Utah by the end of the week. 

The walk-in clinics, which provided treatments like vaccinations, sports physicals, and COVID-19 tests, will no longer be offered at the few CVS pharmacies in the state by Saturday, Dec. 7. 

Instead, CVS told KSL NewsRadio about how they will focus on future growth and design the next evolution of “community health destinations.” 

The purpose behind the MinuteClinics was to provide cheaper immediate care compared to urgent care clinics. 

Many CVS pharmacies in in Utah will still offer vaccines for diseases like flu and COVID-19. 

MinuteClinic will still be available in a virtual format by entering your symptoms and CVS location near you. You can then schedule an appointment with a medical professional to get your symptoms evaluated and treated. 

As for the workers affected by the shutdown, CVS has yet to comment on the topic.  

Here’s another news story from earlier this week.
