Walmart (WMT) announced Tuesday it will offer same-day prescription delivery services in six states, with a plan to roll out to all 49 states in which it operates a pharmacy in by January. The first six states are Arkansas, Missouri, New York, Nevada, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. North Dakota is the only state where Walmart doesn't operate a pharmacy. The move brings Walmart into the competitive field of online pharmacies and same-day retail deliveries, with players like Amazon (AMZN) Pharmacy, Walgreens (WBA), and CVS (CVS).

It depends. I get same day prescription delivery from CVS.
From the CVS website:
Is my prescription eligible for CVS Same-Day Delivery?
We are working to combine our prescription delivery service with our store item delivery soon! In the meantime, visit our Rx delivery home page for prescription delivery information.
Um, that would be a No. But someday ....
That might not happen until Medicare and Medicaid can negotiate dr-g prices. The people in USA are paying way more for RX than any other country.
The sooner the CVS business model and influence burns out, the sooner everyone in the US can get their prescriptions at the same cost as the global population. Not a bad outcome.
