For anyone falling ill on Easter Sunday, here’s what you need to know about whether CVS Pharmacy is open.
Medical emergencies are unpredictable. So when one falls on a national holiday, it understandably can cause an extra source of stress.
While Easter is intended to be a time spent with family, eating sweet treats and soaking up the springtime sun, it won’t be such a celebration if you’re struck down with a headache or flu.
So, as Easter Sunday arrives, let’s find out whether pharmacies such as CVS stay open over the holiday.
Is CVS Pharmacy open on Easter Sunday?
Yes, CVS Pharmacy will remain open on Easter Sunday, despite it being a national holiday celebration.
Given that they deal in healthcare and medicine, the pharmacy stays open all year round, even on federal holidays when other stores and organizations close up shop. CVS is open on the likes of July 4th, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. However, the drugstore does have differing hours on some of these holidays. For example, they close for business earlier on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
