Giant Food, a supermarket chain with stores in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C., is officially rolling out its seasonal vaccines.
The chain announced Wednesday that seasonal flu vaccines are ready and available in all 153 of their in-store pharmacies. Their vaccines are available to both adults and children.
"The vaccinations are administered by Giant's certified in-store pharmacists, require no appointment, and are often covered in-full by most insurance plans," the press release read.
Giant is also offering high-dose vaccines for anyone aged 65 years or older. No appointments are needed, and most insured customers can get vaccinated with a $0 co-pay.
