retail division of CVS Health (NYSE: CVS), today announced that
prescription delivery is now available from CVS Pharmacy locations

prescriptions delivered. CVS Pharmacy is the first national
retailer to offer pharmacy and front store delivery chain-wide.
"The national launch of our prescription delivery service,
including the expansion of same-day delivery in five new markets,
is delivering on our promise to make staying healthy simpler for

calling their local neighborhood CVS Pharmacy. The delivery service
charge is $4.99.
