Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openCVS Health announced that updated 2026-2027 COVID-19 vaccines are now available at CVS Pharmacy and MinuteClinic locations across the U.S. Appointments can be booked through the CVS Health app or CVS.com, walk-ins are accepted, and the vaccines are offered at no out-of-pocket cost with most insurance plans.
CVS Health's strong cash generation, improved operating cash flow outlook, and disciplined capital spending are expected to support continued debt reduction through 2026.

A federal judge has allowed key investor claims in a securities class action against CVS to move forward, while dismissing other parts of the case. The surviving claims accuse CVS and certain officers of misleading investors by not disclosing the company's use of AI tools in Medicare Advantage prior-authorization reviews and their financial impact, while pointing to other factors as the main drivers of CVS's results. The case is led by SEPTA and other defendants, brought in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
A New York federal judge partially allowed an investor class action lawsuit against CVS Health to move forward. The lawsuit alleges CVS misled investors by concealing that its profitability was largely driven by its use of artificial intelligence, and the judge found CVS may have made misleading statements by omission.
