Amazon Pharmacy launches same-day prescription delivery in New York and LA

Amazon Pharmacy is expanding its services, now offering same-day delivery for prescriptions in New York and Los Angeles. The company, which launched its online pharmacy in 2020, announced that the service is rolling out in New York City and the greater Los Angeles area. Customers who require medication to treat "common conditions", like the flu, high blood pressure, diabetes, can access the service to have the medication delivered within hours. The service has already been available in select U.S. cities since October, available to customers in Seattle, Miami, Indianapolis, Phoenix, and Austin. Those in College Station, Texas are able to have prescriptions delivered via drone within an hour of placing an order. Amazon plans to roll out same-day delivery to a dozen other cities in the country over the next year.
