The GIANT Company has announced that updated COVID-19 vaccines are now available at all GIANT and MARTIN’S in-store pharmacies, with shipments arriving this week. The company is making doses widely accessible to communities across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, continuing its commitment to supporting public health.
COVID-19 vaccines are available for individuals aged 12 years and older, with doses for children ages 5–11 potentially available upon request, depending on state regulations. Eligible individuals can receive the updated vaccine if at least two months have passed since their most recent COVID-19 dose. This provides an opportunity for families and individuals to strengthen their protection heading into the colder months, when respiratory illnesses tend to circulate more widely.
Walk-in appointments are welcome, but customers are encouraged to schedule in advance to reduce wait times. Appointments can be booked online at giantfoodstores.com/pages/tgc-vaccine or martinsfoods.com/pages/tgc-vaccines
To ensure a smooth process, customers should bring a photo ID and prescription insurance card. For children, parental consent is required, and a parent or guardian must be present at the time of vaccination.
In addition to COVID-19 vaccines, flu shots are also available at all in-store GIANT and MARTIN’S pharmacies. Medical experts emphasize that both vaccines can be administered during the same visit, making it easier for families to stay up to date on their seasonal immunizations. This dual availability allows customers to conveniently protect themselves and their loved ones against both viruses in one trip.
Pharmacists at GIANT and MARTIN’S are trained and certified to administer vaccines, ensuring a safe and reliable experience for every patient. By offering these services, the company continues to play an important role in expanding vaccine access at the community level, particularly in regions where other healthcare options may be limited.
As the fall and winter seasons approach, The GIANT Company’s expanded vaccination efforts come at a crucial time. Public health officials continue to stress the importance of vaccination as the most effective way to prevent severe illness, reduce the spread of infectious diseases, and protect vulnerable populations.
