Ray Tancredi is the Divisional VP of Walgreens drug chain. Among other things, he's in charge of vaccine procurement. Walgreens is an American company that operates the second-largest pharmacy store chain in the United States, behind CVS Health.
It seems to me just maybe Walgreens could end up contracting with NWBO to provide handling and injection of DCVax. Walgreens stores are everywhere in both rural and metro markets.
