CDC understands that the CDC Provider Agreement for the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program is a voluntary undertaking and may be rescinded by either party with appropriate notice.  As noted in the CDC statement released April 5, CDC strongly encourages providers to continue administering COVID-19 vaccines without costs to patients.  It is CDC’s intention to ensure that all individuals have equitable access to vaccines.  If CDC learns that a provider is engaging in any of the activities listed in that statement, CDC will consider appropriate measures to address the situation, including possibly rescinding that provider’s participation in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program.
