The FDA has approved two new oral antiviral medications for Emergency Use Authorization. Paxlovid and Molnupiravir are available to the public through commercial pharmacies and select Baptist locations throughout our three-state region:

• In Tennessee – Exclusively at select Walmart pharmacies. Visit their website for participating locations.
• In Arkansas – Select Walmart pharmacies (find participating locations)

These medications require a prescription from a provider and should be used as soon as possible after a positive test and symptom onset.
