Stop & Shop, in conjunction with the U.S. Department
of Health & Human Services (HHS) and the New York State Department of
Health, has announced that all of its New York
pharmacy locations will now be able to administer the COVID-19 vaccines.
The locations include those in Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Dutchess, Orange, and Rockland counties and select pharmacy locations in New York City.
The two-dose Moderna COVID-19 vaccine or the single-dose
Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be given. Officials say availability of the
Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine varies by store and is determined by
the state.
Customers looking to receive the vaccine can visit
Stop &
Shop’s website to
determine their eligibility and to determine if appointments are available at
their local pharmacy location.
As per New York’s distribution plan, the pharmacy is only
approved to vaccinate customers 30 and older, teachers and school faculty, and
those with documented health conditions who live, work or study in New York.
“Stop & Shop is proud to continue to do its part in
the fight against COVID-19,” shared Katie Thornell, director
of pharmacy operations at Stop & Shop.
“Being an early provider of the vaccine demonstrates our commitment to being a
trusted health resource within our local communities across New York. We are
excited to continue helping members of the community protect themselves against
COVID-19 while providing a safe shopping experience for your family’s everyday
grocery and pharmacy needs.”
