HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- As more pharmacies offer the COVID-19 vaccine, CVS Health announced they'll begin offering the vaccine to eligible people starting Thursday at 47 pharmacies across the state, with approximately 15 here in the Houston area, according to a CVS media representative.

CVS says about 58,500 doses will be made available through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program, bringing the total CVS Pharmacy COVID-19 vaccination locations to nearly 100 across Texas.

CVS says people can start booking appointments as early as Wednesday and they're only offered on an appointment-only basis through CVS' website, their app, or through their customer service line at (800) 746-7287.
