COVID-19 Response

Vaccines greatly impacted the trajectory of the pandemic, but it’s clear that the perceived value of vaccination during that time has rapidly declined.

The platform is intended to support Americans affected annually by common illnesses and those seeking to protect themselves with adult vaccinations.

The updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccines include a monovalent component that corresponds to the Omicron variant KP.2 strain of SARS-CoV-2.

Retailers, including Walgreens, CVS Health, Hy-Vee, Kinney Drugs, Kroger, Rite Aid, Bartell Drugs, Albertsons, Giant and Martin's pharmacies are ready to offer the updated COVID-19 vaccines.

The 3-in-1 self-test is intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of nucleocapsid protein antigens from influenza type A and type B as well as SARS-CoV-2.

Filling healthcare gaps with pharmacists is both necessary and urgent to ensure people have access to the services they need.

Retailers, including Walgreens and Kinney Drugs are reminding consumers about flu and COVID-19 immunizations and testing offerings as the U.S. heads into peak respiratory illness season.

Walgreens' data shows that COVID-19 and flu activity are already picking up in many communities this year, increasing the chances of holiday spread.
