More than 10,000 of the additional employees will be full-time and part-time licensed pharmacy technicians who can help dispense medications and administer COVID-19 tests, according to the CNBC report.

Last week, the U.S. government signed agreements with CVS and Walgreens Boot Alliance to administer COVID-19 vaccines to residents of all long-term care facilities such as nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, residential care homes and adult family homes.
