(CNN) You might want to check your pharmacy’s hours before you pick up your next prescription.
CVS and Walmart are reducing pharmacy hours amid a staff shortage in the industry.
Beginning in March, Walmart pharmacies will close two hours earlier at 7 p.m.
CVS says it will shift or cut hours at about 6,000 locations also starting in March.
Walgreens made similar changes last year.
Locally-owned pharmacies are facing the same problem.
The National Community Pharmacists Association says more than three-quarters of pharmacies in the U.S. report staffing difficulties.
