Pfizer and Moderna boosters now available at Weis Markets pharmacies
Sunbury, PA (March 31, 2022) – Weis Markets today announced its pharmacies now offer second booster doses of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to adults 50 years old and over and immunocompromised individuals as young as 12 years old following the recent FDA approval and CDC authorization.
Weis Markets pharmacist immunizers are administering booster doses in the company’s 129 in-store pharmacies. The second Moderna and Pfizer boosters can be administered four months after the first booster dose. There is no charge to customers for the boosters or initial rounds of COVID-19 immunizations. Per FDA and CDC guidelines, customers may opt to receive a vaccine from a different manufacturer than their initial vaccination.
“The second booster dose offers an increased level of protection to people aged 50 and above, particularly those over 65 years old. Immunocompromised individuals 12 years old and older are also eligible for the second booster,” said Rick Seipp, Weis Markets’ Vice President of Pharmacy. “This increased protection is designed to protect people and prevent serious COVID-19 infections requiring hospitalization. Our in-store pharmacy immunization program offers customers a quick and convenient option.”
To receive the second booster dose or other COVID-19 immunizations, customers should schedule an appointment with a Weis Markets certified immunizer at: https://www.weismarkets.com/pharmacy-services. Depending on availability and schedules, walk-in appointments are also welcome. Weis Markets immunizers can also answer customer questions about the booster doses. In addition, rapid, at-home COVID-19 antigen tests are available at Weis Markets stores.
