The Giant Co. and its 132 Giant and Martin’s in-store pharmacies has signed on with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to become a COVID-19 vaccine provider, once a vaccine is authorized or approved and recommended for use in the U.S.
“Our pharmacists are trusted health advisors in the local communities that we serve and well-equipped to safely administer future COVID-19 vaccines,” said Leigh Shirley, director of pharmacy operations for The Giant Co. “Being part of this federal pharmacy program lays the groundwork once a vaccine is available to help increase access to and distribution of the vaccine.”
The Giant Co. team of pharmacists regularly administer vaccinations from annual flu shots to pneumonia and shingles vaccines. Pharmacists also offer free vaccination reviews to determine if customers are missing any recommended adult vaccinations.
More information on the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine will be announced in the future.
The Giant Co. serves millions of neighbors across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia with more than 35,000 team members supporting nearly 190 stores, 132 pharmacies, 105 fuel stations and over 145 online pickup hubs and grocery delivery service in hundreds of zip codes. Founded in 1923 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, The Giant Co. family of brands includes Giant, Martin’s, Giant Heirloom Market, Giant Direct and Martin’s Direct. The Giant Co. is a company of Ahold Delhaize USA.
