Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. said sales and profits rose in its latest quarter, and raised its full-year forecast as demand for Covid-19 vaccines and at-home tests continued to draw customers to its stores.
The Deerfield, Ill., drugstore chain said it administered 15.6 million Covid-19 vaccinations in its first fiscal quarter, which ended Nov. 30. The company also said it has now administered more than 9 million booster shots in total.
