CVS and WAG Update Consent Info
Lisa Volk and Tarrah Quinlan in Clinical & Quality
Many of NYSHFA members have been asking for written evidence that Walgreens and CVS will accept verbal or email consent. They have updated their websites, forms and FAQs to reflect this, please see below:
Walgreens
- Updated new landing page, http://walgreens.com/ltcf-covid-vaccine
- Consent guidance with instructions saying they will accept verbal or email consent: https://www.walgreens.com/images/adaptive/pdf/covid/VAR_Guide_2.pdf
- WAG’s FAQs that are a bit confusing but still say you can accept verbal consent. What they are saying is the facility staff will have to sign to say they confirm verbal or email consent.
