Pharmacy stores with locations all over the country — such as CVS, Duane Reade and Walgreens — will largely be open for their regular Sunday business hours. Kroger will be open for grocery shopping, but its pharmacy will be closed.

Although the coronavirus vaccine rollout continues and many states are lifting pandemic-related restrictions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still urges people to limit grocery trips and use curbside pickup or delivery options when possible to limit the virus’s spread.
Meijer, Stop & Shop and Walmart are among the chain stores offering curbside pickup and delivery.
