Amazon will soon make prescription drugs fall from the sky when the e-commerce giant becomes the latest company to offer drone deliveries for medications. The company said Wednesday that customers in College Station, Texas, can now get prescriptions delivered by a drone within an hour of placing their order.
Drugstore chain CVS Health worked with UPS to test deliveries in 2019 in North Carolina but that program has ended, a CVS spokesman said. Intermountain Health started providing drone deliveries of prescriptions in 2021 in the Salt Lake City area and has been expanding the program, according to Daniel Duersch, supply chain director for the healthcare system. Intermountain is partnering with the logistics company Zipline to use drones that drop packages by parachute.
