As cases of influenza and respiratory illness are expected to
rise across the country, more than 1,700 Albertsons Companies
[NYSE: ACI] pharmacy locations across Albertsons, Safeway, Vons,
Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, Acme, Tom Thumb and more, are equipped to begin
administering the latest monovalent mRNA COVID vaccines from Pfizer
and Moderna, the annual flu vaccine, and the respiratory syncytial
virus (RSV) vaccine, which is now approved for adults ages 60 and
up.
“Our pharmacy teams have been long-standing community health
partners administering vital medications and vaccines to millions
of patients across the country each year,” said Anthony DalPonte,
Group Vice President of Pharmacy at Albertsons Cos. “Vaccines are
essential in helping prevent the transmission of viruses in order
to protect our family members, friends and neighbors from severe
illness, particularly those who are most vulnerable to respiratory
disease.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
this is the first fall and winter virus season where vaccines are
available for the three viruses responsible for most
hospitalizations. Health officials encourage vaccinations for flu,
COVID 19 and RSV to prevent a multi-virus surge like the
“tripledemic” of 2022. This year individuals have more options for
protection with the newly available RSV vaccine, newly updated
COVID 19 vaccine that target a new variant and flu immunizations
that can help prevent dangerous respiratory tract infections.
Albertsons Cos.’ convenient pharmacy service helps support
individuals and families, including those who may not have
immediate access to a physician or clinic. Vaccinations can be
scheduled by appointment or walk-in, with most locations offering
evening and weekend hours. Customers can schedule appointments for
up to five immunizations together using the vaccine appointment
scheduler, available on the grocery app or website.
For every vaccination received at an Albertsons Cos.’ pharmacy,
recipients will receive a coupon eligible for 10 percent off their
next grocery purchase up to $200, and access to a free digital
vaccine record.*
