COVID-19 Response

Walgreens offers flu and respiratory syncytial virus vaccination appointments nationwide.

Timed with the formal end of the COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11, an NACDS ad is punctuating the occasion with a “thank you” to pharmacists and pharmacy teams.

The shelf-life of the tests has increased from 12 to 15 months when stored at 2-30°C from the date of manufacture. 

Walensky will depart the agency at the end of June.

Kinney Drugs is providing the appointments per updated FDA/CDC guidance.

The committee voted 16 to 1 that available data support the safety and effectiveness of Paxlovid for treating mild to moderate COVID-19 in adult patients at high risk for progression to severe illness.

With one test, patients can get tested for both COVID-19 and flu and receive a prescribed treatment from a pharmacist.

COVID-19 vaccines are now included among the routine shots recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for children, adolescents and adults.
