Signage posted outside a Walgreens Pharmacy in Vero Beach indicated that the store was temporarily closed because the pharmacist was sick.

The Walgreens, located at 17th Street and U.S. 1, is trying to find another pharmacist to fill the void as soon as possible, the sign said. But, the store is uncertain when it will open again.

Staff could not be immediately reached for comment at 12:15 p.m. Friday, March 20, as TCPalm was on hold for over 20 minutes.
