YORK, Pa. — Note: The video is from Sept. 24.
Wegmans announced this week that its pharmacy locations are now offering Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine booster doses to eligible individuals by appointment only.
The following groups are eligible to receive a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster shot at least six months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series:
- People 65 years and older
- Residents in long-term care settings
- People aged 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions
- People aged 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions, based on their individual benefits and risks
- People aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting, based on their individual benefits and risks
At this time, only individuals who received the Pfizer two-dose vaccine are eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech booster shot, Wegmans said.
Currently, there is not a recommendation for a Moderna or J&J/Janssen booster shot for the general population.
Appointments for a COVID-19 vaccine or booster shot must be reserved in advance.
Customers can schedule an appointment by visiting Wegmans.com/pharmacy or calling 1-800-207-6099 between 2 and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, while appointments last.
Customers must bring their COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card or other proof of vaccination to their appointment if they did not receive their initial two-dose series at Wegmans.
Proof of a qualifying condition is not required; however, patients will be asked to self-attest to current CDC eligibility at time of vaccine appointment.
Additional information about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine or booster shot at Wegmans, along with answers to frequently asked questions, are available on Wegmans’ website.
