Effective immediately, the pharmacy is asking anyone that wants a COVID-19 vaccination to make an appointment online.

Giant Eagle is able to provide Pfizer COVID-19 booster shots now to anyone that qualifies.

That includes:

Residents of long-term care facilities aged 18 and older

Patients 65 and older

Patients 18-64 with underlying medical conditions

Patients 18-64 working in a setting where the burden of COVID-19 infection and risk of transmission is high, including essential workers, unpaid caregivers of a frail or immunocompromised person

More information on COVID-19 booster shots can be found on the CDC's website.
