PITTSBURGH — In response to anticipated increase in demand from recent booster dose guidance, Giant Eagle Pharmacy has reinstated its online appointment requirement for all COVID-19 vaccinations.
[Here is how to stay informed about coronavirus updates from WPXI]
In an effort to ensure timely access to those who have previously received a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and qualify for a Pfizer booster dose under the CDC’s September 24 booster guidance, Giant Eagle Pharmacy will return to an appointment-only system.
Giant Eagle Pharmacy is now able to provide Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine boosters to certain patients, if it has been at least 6 months since they received the second dose of the initial Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine series, and they meet the eligibility criteria:
- Residents of Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCF) (18+ years of age)
- Patients 65+ years of age
- Patients 18-64 years of age with underlying medical conditions.
Patients 18-64 years of age who are in an occupational or institutional setting where the burden of COVID-19 infection and risk of transmission are high, including essential workers, unpaid caregivers of a frail or immunocompromised person, paid or unpaid workers who interact within six feet of others and those who live in a congregate setting (e.g., a homeless shelter or correctional facility).
