Amazon’s pharmacy business will expand its same-day delivery prescription service to about 4,500 cities and towns in the U.S. by the end of this year, adding nearly 2,000 new communities to the network.
The expansion covers states including Idaho and Massachusetts, the company said on Wednesday.
Amazon launched pharmaceutical delivery in 2018 through its acquisition of PillPack. In October, it partnered with WeightWatchers to deliver medications including injectable GLP-1 obesity treatments for the weight-loss management firm’s members.
It also began filling some prescriptions for common medications in December at electronic kiosks in its One Medical primary care locations.
