It’s never a good time to run out of medications you need after your pharmacy closes.

With Christmas just a day away, it’s a good time to find out if your pharmacy is open if you need to pick something up.

The holiday falls on Wednesday this year. Christmas is a federal holiday, meaning most federal institutions and some private businesses are closed for business, so you likely won’t be able to run errands that require government action or documents, or do personal banking.

Here’s what you need to know about major pharmacy chains like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid and whether or not they’ll be open on Christmas Eve this year.

Because pharmacy hours vary greatly by retailer, it is recommended that you call your local pharmacy or store or check their websites for more specific information.
