The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is looking to partner with Dollar General in an effort to accelerate the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in rural areas of the United States.
The talks come amid concern that rural Americans who don't have access to big box stores won't get vaccinated.
Dollar General is one of the nation's largest retailers, with more than 16,000 locations. That's about three times the number of locations as Walmart and more than half as many as CVS and Walgreens.
No further details were available.
